Open New Doors

"I need a volunteer," the boss said. Like everyone else at the table, Peter inwardly groaned: high effort...short deadline....pressure. Who volunteers for that?

Answer: Peter did...half-heartedly. Then his pride kicked in, and he gave the work his best effort. It never grew easy or pleasant. But there's something about throwing yourself into a task. When Peter finished, his boss said two things: "Nice job." And "I won't forget this."

Jesus said---and managers know---that the person faithful in little will be faithful in much. Peter might add, now, that even dead-end projects, well done, can open new doors....in the high calling of our daily work.
