Pride In Your Work
If your work does not represent your best effort, you do not take pride in your work. If you paint a house, scrape off all the old paint, put on a primer, and then paint it with a brush for better adhesion. A carpenter’s work should show that he takes pride in his work as it will be here for many years to look at, and people will ask who did the excellent or bad carpentry project for you. If you bake wedding cakes, they better look fantastic if you want repeat customers and good reviews about your nicely decorated and great-tasting wedding cakes. Famous painters capture the accurate and exact image of the person they are doing the portrait. A person that takes pride in their work is thoughtful, trustworthy, and takes time to spot the little details that add that extra flare to the finished work.
Treat People With The Utmost Respect
People want to be treated like they want to be treated. Do not give one friend an extra expensive gift and the others a gift that would not even add up to your standards of what a gift should be. One time I received what would have been a gag gift for someone. I did not appreciate receiving it, so I burned it in a burning container. I thanked them for the gift, and later on, it got to the burning container. Pride stands for what kind of gift you give to someone. If you do not like a gift that you receive, do not re-gift it, as the next person will not like it either. Take pride in all things, great and small.
Don’t Forget The Important Details
If you give someone flowers, ensure they are in a nice container or vase. If you mow someone’s lawn, try to cut the grass the way you would if you lived there. Take pride in how you trim bushes. Walk around the bush trimming the areas that do not match up until your bush looks perfect from all directions. If you have a candlelight dinner and forget to light the candles, you have ruined the atmosphere for a romantic evening. Small details forgotten can ruin the sale of a home or sealing a business deal and much more.
God Watches How You Take Pride In The Many Areas Of Your Life
God sees how you treat and act around others. God sees you when you are helpful or if you are rude. God watches us at work, and he can see if you are doing a job to the best of your ability or if you are trying to get by with a bad work ethic or an, I don’t care attitude. Think how bad your life would be if God felt I didn’t want to listen to you today as I have better things to do with my time. God takes pride in us, and we should take pride in how we represent ourselves to God and man in all areas of our life. Thank you, God, for the many blessing you have bestowed on me.
