Tim - Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17 NIV)

Consider the women (Mary and Mary) who prepared Jesus' body. What if they would have said "no, I've done so much - let someone else do it." Thankful they didn't. What they were called to do was necessary.

In our life , there our lots of "words and deeds" that we are required to do that don't always feel appreciated or even necessary. However!!! This scripture is telling us no matter what we "have " to do - let's do it all unto the Father for His glory and honor.

Also from Ephesians 4 - let's not just stop doing what will offend and hurt but let's go beyond that and do good - like give and build up and love.

Let us make a conscience effort to surrender to the Holy Spirit in all that we do.
