我为什么要忠于手头的任务?

许多专业人士都在一段时间内生活一年或两个甚至几个月,然后到下一个月。这种声音是否类似于我们的现代时代约会生活方式,在那里在一个忠诚的关系中的想法听起来很无聊,浪费时间,也许甚至令人震惊?我们宁愿在约会应用程序上左右滑动,而不是允许任何连接粘。此外,千禧一代和Z Z代在我们决定中的最后一分钟Wishity的时间里居住。我不是想让你感觉不好。事实上,我是一个陷入这种从未完全知名的文化的罪魁祸首。虽然可能有许多人在我们欲望的不忠实追求中创造的记忆,但我们必须询问自己是对我们的灵魂有益的。忠实于手头的任务的想法是我真正没有重视,直到我在过去的一天在过去的一天结束时反映了我的实习经验。

For the individuals who cannot identify what tasks have been placed in their hands, bare with me for just a moment. People may get hung up around the idea of calling in asking, “how do I truly know my calling?”. Other than saying my, Lauren Vogt’s, heart’s answer of, “look to your creator, God himself, as He created you and as the inventor and author of your story knows how you are uniquely wired”, I will also give my business response : “Look to what has been placed in front of you”. Another way to best explain this is a parable a wise man told me a couple weeks ago: “Many people say look at the doors that are right in front of you. However, when I have to make a choice, I look to the doors that are right下一个to me”. This subtle yet stark difference in words blew my mind. Think about it. Ask yourself the question. What doors have been placed right next to you? I can share a few. Personally, I am a college student. Therefore, I have a task of doing as excellent as I can in school loving others as I love myself. In terms of family, I have a beautiful blended family and I am called to love and serve them. I do this by making sure my mom hears from me once every two days. I call my grandmother as least twice a week. I check up on my stepsisters roughly every two weeks. Then for church, I am called to love and serve the church, the people that fill the congregation. I do this by helping set up service from helping capture b-roll from the Vacation Bible School. Looking at who has been placed beside you is a great way to consider who you can be faithful too. Once you know who you can be faithful too, then is the next step of understanding how you can be faithful in your gifts to the world.

After accepting a production internship role this past summer, I knew I was called to being faithful in my work as an intern. What commitment looked like for me on the job was staying hours after my shift ended to finish a project. It was helping a coworker going through a hard time by stepping aside and being patient and listening to their heart, even if it meant staying after hours. Commitment as well was staying focused on a video project in After Effects, though I was learning a lot of new tools and it meant I would miss lunch. Being faithful to the task at hand was a work value I truly have just started chewing on these past couple days as my internship has come to its end.

The reason I am challenging you to consider what tasks you are or are not being faithful in is because we are all given specific opportunities that are placed on our path for a reason. Think about it. We have specific roles in our communities. We are intentionally placed into our families. We all have passions that are unique to who we are. We all have gifts that can help people in ways we can’t even now fathom. These realities are what make up our stories. However, if we do not act in faith upon what we are being called to do, we are not only doing a disservice to ourselves but to this world.

你有礼物,我没有。我有你没有的礼物。如果你没有出去并致力于你所召唤的任务,人们将如何真正认识你?也许有时是重点。你永远不想真正知道。但是,我会挑战你。是什么让人类体验令人兴奋,冒险和复杂的丰富?完全众所周知,完全被爱的想法。你被召唤谁是完全闻名和完全喜爱的?
