Do not work for the food that perishes,
but for the food that endures for eternal life.
—John 6.27
How much do we work for comfort,
for reputation, for feeling we’re in control,
for having our expectations affirmed,
for being right?
How much of that will matter on your deathbed?
What people think of you will perish.
All your accomplishments will disappear.
But the love you leave behind will endure,
because it is part of God, and therefore eternal.
Let your labor be to receive God’s love
and give it all away,
and the God of Life will feed you abundantly.
