Going the Extra Mile

In many ways during the internship, I learned that being Christian is hard, especially in the secular world that we live in. We can't just go about preaching the Word and spreading the Gospel out in the streets. Rather, we need to be living examples of Jesus wherever we go, however subtle it may be. Because Jesus has done so much for us, we can't help but to take on a little burden and work harder than other people when encountering the world. Our motivations and ultimate goal are different than those who don't follow Jesus and even our purpose in life is not the same. Following Jesus in this secular world means that in every situation possible, we can emulate Jesus in some sort of way. It means that wherever you are and whatever you do, you always have a constant reminder in your heart of why you do what you do, which is to serve the Lord and glorify His name.
