The lack of effort builds a hole that can grow so deep and wide they fall into it. It brings experience, but in the negative realm, and how can you be proud of something you really didn’t invest in?

2 Timothy 2:15 tells us anything we present or do for God should be something we aren’t ashamed of. This doesn’t mean we have to spend hours and hours on something for it to “count” in God’s eyes. Instead, whatever the task is, we do our best.

Are you proud of your work for God?
