I saw this quote at the office today, in one of our network marketing books … “My father taught me to always do more than you get paid for, as an investment in your future.”
What a great idea to carry with you, no matter what you do. The quote is from Jim Rohn, a fairly famous motivational speaker in our industry and recently deceased. He has been oft-quoted for as long as I’ve been involved with my company, going back about 10 years. And his words really are inspirational, in lots of ways.
Now look at the quote in another context. God the Father asked Jesus to do so much more than was expected, to make the ultimate investment … and all for our future. He asked Jesus to give his life for us. Jesus invested Himself not only in his suffering but He invested in us. Jesus lives within us as proof of His investment … He lends us each His emotional energy, because we too are invested in Him..
I pray today that I too can always do more than God expects of me, as an investment in our common future. It’s not about me … it’s about how I invest myself in others.
