So, for example, if we set our hearts on how strongly we love God or Jesus, and then imagine that our mundane work is in service to Jesus, this could make us happier in our mundane work.<BR/><BR/>I suppose God "loves" the people. The people are doing some things that will cause them harm (environmental problems). Someone needs to reach people and help them do different things that won't cause so much harm (solving environmental problems). You have talents as a writer, as a thinker, and as someone who cares about the environment.<BR/>It therefore makes sense to frame your dedication to learning about the environment and writing as a dedication to the ultimate aim of helping to reach people with a message. This is the message of solving environmental problems. You are especially well-suited to reaching Christians with this message. And so, you could also ask yourself, is this reading or this work giving me ideas or skills or knowledge that will help me reach Christians with a message about environmental problems and their solutions? <BR/>So long as you can find the practical application of your learning to this ultimate aim and this calling you have, I suppose you will be able to find enough enthusiasm to carry it through.Eric Hadley-Iveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349423480178819276noreply@blogger.com
