Hands Of A Rock Breaker

There was a time in my young life when I envied the men and women who had stable jobs, homes and even cars. They portraid the perfect picture of success and that,I wanted. Then was the time when all I thought of such people was despise.All they did was go work to make others rich while they were to remain slaves of that habbit.
Times changed again and I had respect for a person who had a descent job and was able to provide for their own. Well, I finally joined those people after a long while of resistance. Today as I walk and eat among them, I neither envy nor despise them. I pitty us.

I ask myself what is of greater worth! Being the maker or being the made. Work is an honourable thing. The person who refuses to work is worthy of no respect at all. When I say that I pitty us I exclude some of us. Those who have come to understand the why. Those are men and women that while they make the small groug rich, realise that they too are on a journey to their destinies. They have come to realise who they are and why they are. That category is not defined by what they do but by who they are. They are who define the jobs or what they do.

We are the brains and bodies that strive to make the small majority what they set out to become. We make our lives better too but we never get to be as we had set out to be.That is why today as I write this I know that my service with this company is purely to
God.
But what does that mean in it true terms.It means that I serve because it is ocassioned unto me by the creator of this world.And that also means that my nature of sevice is to be of that quality that befits the one who has sent me here while on the journey to be what I have set out to be.I believe that a Christian in every place that we serve we serve God but also we serve with man. Our nature of service should thus be of that quality that is worthy of that land for which we are ambassadors.
Do you still want to kno what I fill for people in my shoes? Well it depends on how they look at themselves and what they belive is the reason for their being in shoes like mine.Who ever you are I wish you a life of smiles.The excitment is in doing what you always wanted to do. Not just in driving cars and having houses, but also in influencing all those lives in whom your destiny is hidden. That, my friends, is success, its becoming more like Jesus by helping many become like Him. And that's what inspires me to believe that our destinies lie in all those lives we are destined to influence unto being more like Christ.
