2>From ourselves
}Steals the given dignity.
}The thief is the greatest victim
}Thou shall not steal-
it is given to preserve our dignity.}Work is a blessing-
work existed even before sin did.}
YOU ARE SPECIAL! :)}You are supposed to be a worker.
}We are given the authority to help shape His creation.
-Genesis 3:17b-19
}Work sometimes becomes a curse than blessing.
}Phrase-
the quickest way to transform a bad job is a new attitude, and the quickest way to transform our attitude is changing your boss.}How to change your boss?change your boss from whoever to GOD!
}If you want to change your attitude, the best way is to let your relationship with God be better,or else you will have the best job in the world, but still useless. *
