  And whatever you do, do it heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 Practice His Presence What a verse for a believer! In whatever I do. WHATEVER. Do it well? Just do it? Nope. Do it heartily. (I'm picturing a bunch of medieval feasters singing around a large banquet table. Heartily. Okay, maybe that one's just me.) Do it heartily for the Lord. To do things for the Lord, I need to practice His presence. I must remember He is with me. I am seeking Him. Praying. And not for men. I don't want to read something into the passage that's not there, so I want to be careful. I know we do things for people. But we do it "as for the Lord" when we do it. We are not seeking their esteem. Child Of The One True King And we KNOW. Look at that word: I know. What? That I will receive a reward of the inheritance. I am a child of the one true king. Yes
