Giving My Best (At All Time)

This is easier than done. Why?


Most of the time we tend to give our 100% focus or effort when we know the reward, when we know that we will received something in return. Sometimes we even gave 150% effort, with the hope of getting the price.


Sometimes, we are reward driven.


I learned something different today. I learned about giving my best in every situation. I learned about the Three Wise Men.


And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. - Matthew 2:11


I learned about how they walked through the deserts to find a young child. I learned about them giving their best treasures, gold, frankincense and myrrh.


I learned that even they do not know what the young child can do for them, on whether the young child have anything in return, they are giving their best.


After all, he is just a young child, a poor one, born in a manger, covered with cheapest cloth.


They are not reward driven. They are faith driven.


And now we know, how faith brought them to a great purpose. I guess that's why they are called Wise Men. Those that are driven by faith, giving their best in whatever situation, are called: Wise Men


Are we?


Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ - Colossians 3:23-24
