We get ourself into a huge trap when we do our work to please people instead of God, because we expect people to give us praise and recognition when we do a job and when we don't receive what we expect from them we go on our way pouting and complaining, and we make our mind up that we are "never" gonna do anything else for them again.
Trying to please people can rob you of your joy. God's way to freedom and joy is for you to do your work as unto Him.
From the Lord is where we will receive our reward, not from men; and what better place to get it from huh? Getting a paycheck is a reward from our job but that paycheck only meets our temporary needs our eternal rewards we get from God will "outshine" "outlast" them all.
The highest purpose at your job each day is to please Him, to bring a smile to His face.
At the end of each day, no mans words of praise to us will matter at all, what truly matters is what God thinks and says to us. No greater recognition could be given than those beautiful words that He will say over your life "I am well pleased with you my child"
