PILLARS WK. 4 — RELATIONSHIPS THAT BUILD A MEANINGFUL LIFE: WORK
”Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He’s doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But, presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and doesn’t seem to make any sense. What on Earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house than the one you thought of — throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come in and live in it Himself.” — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“Nothing will work unless you do.” - Maya Angelou
Key Thought — We are image bearers before we are influence makers.
Key Thought — Work is a gift to enjoy, not a curse to endure.
How do I discover my calling, not just my career?
1/ How can I give the most Glory to God?
“God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were
designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.”
-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Key Thought — Faithfulness will find you before fruitfulness fulfills you.
2/ How can I bring the most good to humanity?
3/ How can I live most fully alive?
“The Glory of God is man fully alive.” - St. Iraneaus
“I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.” - Eric Liddell
Key Thought — Where do you feel God’s pleasure?
Key Thought — Our work can never give us our true identity, only our trust in the voice of our Heavenly Father.”
