To keeping things simple on why we work & to not lose focus :::
Two millenia ago at an early-morning breakfast by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus had only one question for Peter: "Simon son of John, do you love me?" (John 21). Jesus did not ask him about his effectiveness, or his skill, or anything but his love. Three times Jesus asked, "Simon, do you love me?" Peter struggled for an adequate response to that probing query. Finally, he blurted out, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Assured of his heart, Jesus gave Peter work to do: "Feed my lambs."
The same question is asked of us. The same work is given to us.
