The book of Genesis presents a striking truth — work was part of paradise.

For many people, work has a negative connotation. We must realize that work can bring a sense of purpose of meaning to our lives. Work can be as much a basic human need as rest, friendship, and sexuality. Are you just making a living, or are you making a life?

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. (Colossians 3:23-24)
