Do everything heartily

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord. (Colossians 3:23)

On the 80th birthday of the famous musician and conductor Arturo Toscanini, someone asked his son what he considered to be his father's greatest achievement. He replied, "For him there can be no such thing. Whatever he happens to be doing at any moment is the biggest undertaking in his life, whether it be conducting a symphony or peeling an orange."

How much more we as God's children should take continual delight in the deeds of love we do for the Lord and for others! The apostle Paul said, "Anything we do for Jesus, whether large or small, should be "the biggest thing" in our lives.
