Colossians 3:23 — 'Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.' This verse demolishes the line between sacred work and secular work.
'Whatever you do' — washing dishes, writing code, driving a truck, raising kids. All of it counts. None of it is too small.
'Heartily.' Full engagement. Not phoning it in. Not doing the minimum. Putting your soul into the work, because the work matters.
'As for the Lord, not for men.' Your real boss is Jesus. The paycheck comes from a person. The meaning comes from him.
And that changes everything. The hardest tasks become offerings. The most thankless jobs become worship. Because the audience changed.
