Hard Work

A long day at work...A long week at work...
I found myself at the end of the day exhausted, sad, and angry. Why is it that if you are a hard worker you get more work, and if you are a complainer and slacker, you get work taken away? These questions were the source of my anger. I heard of two people's loads being lifted because they complained loudly to the right people. Meanwhile it has felt that their slackened loads were put on a few of us that are already overloaded. It probably sounds as if I am still ranting. But amid these frustrations God showed up. He seemed to take His giant highlighter in the sky, swoop down, and touch it to the pages of my Bible:

"God is not unjust: He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make you hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Hebrews 6:10-12.
