If you were to fly over the Statue of Liberty and look closely, you would be able to see the pains taking detail of the Lady Liberty's head. The sculptor had spent as much work on the detail of the lady's coiffure as he did any other part of Lady Liberty. Surely, as the sculptor worked on the statue, he never dreamed that anyone would ever see this detail except for the uncritical eyes of sea gulls. However, today we can fly over that Statue and see the amount of critical detail that the sculptor did not overlook. He devoted as much time and energy to what he knew would be seen, by the ships sailing by in the harbor, as he did to that which he never dreamed would ever be seen.
Paul wrote: "Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being Christian doesn't cover up bad work." Colossians 3:23-25 The Message
