The two things we all want so desperately โ glory and relationship โ can coexist only with God.
Timothy KellerThe best people often have terrible lives. Job is one example, and Jesusโthe ultimate โJob,โ the only truly, fully innocent sufferer โ is another.
Timothy KellerJesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasnโt already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.
Timothy KellerA job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.
