A Little God Time for GirlsSample

It All Counts

If you divided this list into two different sets, what would they be?

Apples, oranges, carrots, squash, pineapple, green beans, strawberries

Easy, right?

How about this list?

Reading your Bible, playing card games with your cousin, going to youth group, praying, going to the zoo

Most people, and you may or may not be one of them, put them into two categories: things that are spiritual and things that are not. Things that you do for God and things that you do just because.

Truth is, anything you do can be a beautiful act of worship to God. Unloading the dishwasher, vacuuming the living room, even picking up dog poop (well, maybe not). You can practice piano as if Jesus were sitting in the room, do your English assignment as if he were going to read it the next day. Not out of a sense of fear, like, I have to get this perfect or God will be disappointed—but out of joy, like, I love the Lord and want to give him my best.

What’s something you never thought was a way to show your love to God? Would you change anything about how you did it?

Dear Lord, I want everything I do to show my love for you—because you deserve the best. Thank you that even the ordinary things in my day can praise you. Amen.
