"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!" says John, but do we know who our Daddy is? It is easy to acknowledge that we are His children, but we don't always think about WHO it is that is our Father.
How should we use our time? What actions will ensure that the use of our time positions us for progress in our lives, as well as our spiritual lives?

Sometimes we think that working for God in ministry is better than our ordinary jobs. We often think our own jobs have no value to God. Think again.
