God made the world, not to get something from us, but rather as a gift for us to enjoy and play in and make something of. In the same way, when we live and work, not to get what we can from others, but rather to love and serve them, we’re harmonizing with the heart of God himself. And one of the best possible ways we can love and serve people is to show up for work every day. And to do our work, not to get ahead, or make more money, or become famous, but to love and serve God and neighbor. And when we do that, we start to reclaim our humanness.
