Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
—1 Corinthians 10:31
In a Peanuts cartoon strip, Linus told Lucy, “I think there’s something you should know.” “What’s that?” she asked. “The world does not revolve around you,” he said. With a mystified expression, Lucy said, “You’re kidding!”
“It’s not all about you!” goes against the self-centeredness of personal ego and present culture.
There are many ways you can spend your talents and use your life. And perhaps God might say, “I made you, gifted you with smarts and skills, so any of those things is fine with me.”
Your motivation is more important than your innovation. It’s good to be imaginative, creative, and aggressive. But if your incentive is self-centered, the end of the journey will be disappointing—to you and to God.
When deciding the “What,” don’t ignore the “Why.”
