When You're Overworked and Under Appreciated

Do you ever feel like the more work you do, the more work you’re rewarded with?

Sometimes, life can seem a tad bit unfair. Those who seem to do the most work are often times the ones charged with more, while those who skimp by tend to be left off the hook. Why does life seem to always work out this way? Is there something wrong? Should we assert ourselves and demand better treatment? What does God have to say about it all?

While reading in bed one night, I struggled with this very concept and unfortunately, I let my frustration come boiling over the surface. It wasn’t until I started reading again the pages of C. S. Lewis’ classic novel that I was struck with the larger call God was asking of me.

Those who go on to do great things in this life, are the ones that are usually over worked and under appreciate. The difference is in how they handle the call. What will you say to it?

Quotes Mentioned:

“Shasta’s heart fainted at these words for he felt he had no strength left. And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one. “But all he said out loud was: ‘Where is the King?’”
-C. S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

“I had always felt life first as a story - and if there is a story, there is a storyteller.”
-G. K. Chesterton
