Did I do my best?
The end of this semester is so near and every nerve and cells of my body are screaming loud for it to come now.
However, this last 2 weeks of school are always the hardest time and place to be in. All of the sudden, I found myself drowning in seas of homework and struggling through tests and finals. Life can be even harder when financial check-in is just around the corner and I am physically and spiritually exhausted.
But every time I am tired and feel like giving up, I will want to be closer to Jesus. I am reading Colossians 3 today and I came across this powerful verse. Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Jesus Christ you are serving."
It reminds me that I do not belong to this world, nor do I serve this world. I am serving an awesome God who is HUMBLE and LOVING, who was willing to come down to this earth to DIE for my sins even though I do not deserve it. I am amazed by the fact that, the Master I am serving, is Jesus Christ.
I am more motivated than ever after knowing this wonderful fact that my Master is Jesus alone. All of the sudden, the stress of trying to pass all the classes for this semester or difficulties in completing financial check-in are all taken away. I found the peace and the joy of working my best to finish this race strong.
I will do my best in whatever I do, and work it with all my heart because "it is the Lord Jesus Christ" whom I am serving! :)
