Always do what is right and not only when others are watching, so that you may please Christ as his servants by doing his will.

Serve your employers wholeheartedly and with love, as though you were serving Christ and not men. (Eph 6:6)

This reminds me of a time when I worked for a lady manager who abjectly hated me – and didn’t hide the fact. I tolerated her constant jibes and criticisms for almost a year, then one day after a terrible morning with her, I pulled out my lunch box and started to eat. I was honestly thinking of leaving (actually probably worse)!

Anyway, as I ate, I heard her say, “I love tangerines.” I noticed she was looking at my fruit. At that moment I felt the Lord say, “give her the fruit.” I (finally) stood and with shaking hands grabbed hold of the tangerine and almost squeezed it onto her desk. Then without looking for her reaction, I quickly walked to the toilet

When I finally came back I noticed she had been crying. I (begrudgingly) asked her what was wrong and if I could help, she said, “I have done everything I can to get rid of you, and the more I hurt you the nicer you treat me…! Why?”

I told her about GOD in Jesus telling me to be kind to her. In fact, she opened up and it turned out that she knew all about Him as she’d walked away from Him many years ago. The rest, as they say, is history.

Thank You Jesus for giving me Your strength.
