A truth that all Christians accept that God our Father loves us and wants to bless us. The first thing that has given us is the existence, the possibility of being, have heart and breathing; but not only that, it also fills us with different gifts. One is the ability to work and earn a living. And more than that, it has given us the ability to enjoy our work. That is important, give every thing its value, not live to work but work to live and enjoy [1]. In all, sometimes we have trouble sleeping by the desire of remaining work but Palaba says that's vanity, which means that it is in vain, meaningless, because work is a blessing and becomes sorrow when we allow rob us peace.
Of course work involves effort, but we must learn to appreciate and enjoy our work, even with its complications and challenges. If God gives you the opportunity to be useful wherever you work, your good attitude and enthusiasm shows you're ready for the next blessing you want to give. Speaking of this I remember that story of a race-car driver who had an accident and then we could not return to the races, so he looked for another job. The only thing I found was on the dock cleaning fish, and when asked how it was possible to maintain such a positive attitude to his situation, he replied: "Sometimes you can not choose the work that touches you, but you can choose the attitude with which you will, and I have chosen to be happy. "You have to live with joy at all times! Find him a taste for what you do and looking better yourself to get where they want to be.
Enjoy all of your work, your life, what you can do and share! [2] They do not grieve the reviews because there will always be someone who thinks evil when really vanity is receiving the gift of God and not enjoy it . If the Lord has blessed you with the ability to improve yourself, say thank you to your effort and your good mood [3]. Share your testimony with joy and good attitude, because living for the Lord is fullness of joy. Solomon in Ecclesiastes says that God gives us permission to have fun in life because they want you to fight your battles and then celebrate the victories. Do not complain, but enjoy your work, change the "aleganza" by praise.
When you enjoy your work, the better you do, and often provokes envy excellence, but that should not afanarte, because if no one envied means that you need excellence. There are two roads, or feel sorry or provoke envy, of course it is better to inspire the latter, because it means you do things right, as God wills [4]. So focus on cause God with your excellence; not only you approach Him for something, but offer him your accomplishments as a sign that you appreciate His gifts. The art of being a Christian is learning to live with good attitude. Everything we do is a message to the Lord causes His blessing to your life!
Also, give it time to rest, it is better a fist full of abundance with joy, two handfuls of abundance, with grief and illness. This is not a doctrine but a decision you should take according to your strength. If you have the ability to strive with joy, do it, you know your limit. I thank God for my work, I enjoy what I do but it's a monumental effort. I am pastor, teach about the Word, and motivate and lead a congregation that's what I do well. What is your dream job ?, what do you do well? Find out, use the faith God has given you to work and enjoy the fruits of your efforts.
And after work, enjoy what it has cost you so much, because it is a gift from God. If the Lord blesses you with wealth, also ask the ability and character to enjoy it. Vanity is to work hard and not be happy with what you achieve. If you do not enjoy or work or what you earn, may God have mercy on you, because that is not His plan [5]. If you kill yourself working, when you travel, enjoy the fruit! Do not let the desire to catch you even enjoy yourself with what you can eat or shop. Some people have nice cars and houses that do not enjoy crisp because nothing can touch. Remember that when you die you will not take anything, so take advantage of the blessings when you are. Joy is gift from the Lord. Sunday is possible to see in the central park happy families taking his glass of corn gruel and eating his toast with beans, while others will be spending the weekend to luxurious beach house, but so angry that first reaches the mouth and then the body.That can not be! God gives wealth, possessions and honor, but useless if not rejoice with the right attitude. Ask the Lord to enjoy good attitude how much or little you have. What will serve prosper with pain? What you purchase does not have to cost you a lot of money, but should be "enjoyable". The child who failed birth was luckier than someone who did not enjoy his life [6], so it shows your birth was worth it because you love life and making the most. Then, the first gift is the work; The second gift is to enjoy the fruit of labor.
The family is the third gift that must combine with the other two, ie enjoy with your wife and your children than you get with effort. In the religious world seem to enjoy is bad, but the Bible gives us the right as God gives us to be happy at all times. Therefore advised to do everything with joy [7]. With my wife we sacrifice much married early because we wanted to buy our house. Then my father told me: "Take my daughter, traveling and have fun when she can still wear a swimsuit".What wise advice! Accumulate assets useless if you do not take the time to enjoy them with your family. I know that sometimes it's a conflict, because it seems that educate us to suffer, but I do not understand why, if our Lord has created a beautiful world and has asked us to enjoy. So do it before it's too late.
The fourth gift is Jesus! God sent His Son that we believed and we did not lose [8]. Enjoy Jesus, His love, His grace, His mercy, because not only brought us eternal life, but abundant life for us to enjoy the wonders of the Lord. He won the thief who seeks to steal and destroy [9]. If the battle is already won, learn to enjoy yours and not covet what others have. Tell joyfully: Thank you Father for Thy gifts, because we teach delight in this life you've given us!
Reference Verses:
[1] Ecclesiastes 2: 22-24 NLT says: After all the work, efforts and concerns, what we brought to this world?Nothing! Our life is full of pain and suffering; nor night we rest.That makes no sense! The best we can do is eat and drink, and enjoy our work. I have come to realize that this is a gift from God.
[2] Ecclesiastes 3: 12-13 suggests: While we live, let us do good and pasémosla well. Eating and drinking, and enjoy the fruit of much work, it is something that God allows us. I know that very well.
[3] Ecclesiastes 3:22 says: What I have seen is that when we die, nobody brings us back to see what happens next. So enjoy our work because work is our destiny.
[4] Ecclesiastes 4: 4-6 teaches DHH: I saw that much work and success in a business provoke envy of each other, and this is also wishful thinking and want to catch the wind. People say: "The fool folds his arms and destroys itself." But I say, "Better is a handful of rest than two of fatigue for wanting to catch the wind."
[5] Ecclesiastes 5: 18-20 TLA teaches: From my perspective, it's very little we live. So eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked so hard to win, because that God wanted.

[6] Ecclesiastes 6: 1-3 shares: In this life I saw an evil that affects us all: sometimes God gives us a lot of money and honors, and fulfills all our wishes, but in the end it is others who have just enjoying all that.It seems to me something terrible and senseless! We can live a hundred years, and get to have a hundred children, but if we do not enjoy the good things of life, nor bury us as they should, I say that a stillborn child has had better luck than us.
[7] Ecclesiastes 9: 7-10 TLA anima: Courage, then!Eat and drink glad that God approves of what we do!Let us dress well and perfumémonos! Since God has given us a short life in this world, enjoy every moment with his beloved.Let us enjoy every day of this life without meaning, because only that is left after so much work! And all you can do, do it with joy. We're headed to the grave, and there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge nor wisdom.
