Giving God A Quality Return
Do you appreciate sloppy work? Neither do I.
I don't know too many mothers who are satisfied when their children do the dishes or clean their rooms in a sloppy, halfhearted way. Your boss certainly doesn't want sloppy work. It's not acceptable for an administrative assistant to say, "So what if your letter is full of errors and misspelled words? At least I typed it." No, that's not professional, nor is it acceptable.
God wants quality work from His stewards too. At His judgment seat, Jesus Christ is going to evaluate how well our time, talents, and treasures were used for Him—whether they were used to produce quality work or thrown-together junk.
Many people will give their boss top-quality work when they go into the office. They won't be late, and they won't do sloppy work. Why? Because their paycheck is in the boss's pocket. They fear not getting a raise. They fear not being promoted. If people will do that for an earthly boss, what should we do for Jesus Christ?
So the question is, Are you giving God's kingdom a quality return on the time, talents, and treasures He has blessed you with? Or is God getting your leftovers?
For His Kingdom,
