Jesus is my real Bonus!

Happy Monday everyone! The Lord was at work (no pun intended) immediately this morning as I was called into my Manager’s office. I was blessed with a bonus for some miscellaneous tasks I had been working on and all I can say is God is the provider of my life and His grace is undeserved. My manager asked me to write a thank you letter to the VP of my program and another executive level manager for approving the bonus. I had an opportunity to thank these gentleman and I graciously in one sentence explained “My heart is full of joy in knowing Jesus gives me strength and wisdom to perform to the best of my ability in the responsibilities I have been given here.” I didn’t ask them if they were Christians or beat over the head with scripture verses telling them to repent of their sins; all I did was make sure they understood the reward they had gifted me was for the glory of Lord who gives me the ability to work hard and have success. After receiving the news I texted my wife and then went to a co-worker of mine who had been praying I would be compensated for my efforts. Praise God for brothers and sisters in Christ who lift me up not only in my family life and ministry responsibilities, but at the work place as well where Jesus is ever present and ready to use His servants! Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
