2 Nephi 3:8 -- On Working for the Lord

"And I will give unto him a commandment that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him. And I will make him great in mine eyes; for he shall do my work."

2 Nephi 3:8

I like this idea of working for God... and from one perspective you could ask why would God require someone to only do his work, and not their own?  On the other hand though, the idea is to make God's work and our work the same, right?  It *is* his will that we pursue goodness. :)

I think God loves it when we have fulfilling lives with friends and family and hobbies and work that we enjoy... and I actually think that when God gives us work to do that it is actually a gift in a lot of ways.  We spend too much time in this life feeling unfulfilled, and wondering if anything we do makes a difference... and working for God--even just obeying his commandments and doing his will generally if we don't have a specific calling--always makes a difference and allows us to be a part of improving the world and making people's lives better.

Today, let's think about what we can do to work for God... what can we do to make a positive difference?  And then let's put a plan into motion, even if it is just something small.  If we keep working at it, with God's help, we can all make a difference. :)
