Verse from Leviticus

不可报复,也不可向你的族人怀恨,却要爱你的邻舍好象爱自己;我是耶和华。

‭‭利未记‬ ‭19:18‬ ‭


““ ‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭19:18‬ ‭


Out of the many biblical laws governing human relationships, “love your neighbor as yourself” is key (Leviticus 19:18; Romans 13:8–10). And while this love stops us from lying, stealing, and abusing others (Leviticus 19:11, 14), it also changes how we work. Employees must be treated fairly (v. 13), and we should all be generous to the poor (vv. 9–10).


If we treat work as just a means to a wage or other personal benefit, we will soon treat others as annoyances. But if we treat our jobs as opportunities to love, then the most everyday task becomes a holy enterprise.


Father, 

a job is never just a job to You but an opportunity to love You and serve others. 

Help me to see my work as an opportunity to benefit others today.
