Easy to Look Sharp

Greetings to all; as we close out this week, may our work highlight the effort we put into everything we have done.

It is easy to create an illusion of productivity, suggesting that our achievements far exceed the reality of our efforts. Unlike our own experiences, consider the pencil: with each stroke on the page, its sharp point gradually dulls. This dullness reminds us that real effort often leaves traces of wear rather than a polished pretense of success.

Ephesians 6:6 (NKJV)

6 not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

Lesson: By the end of the week, we often do not look or feel as sharp as we did at the beginning. No matter the task, with our authentic efforts, there can be reminders and signs of fatigue. Wear and tear will reflect our challenges.
