Proof of Bringing God to Work

Genesis 30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.

I don't know if I have ever been more conflicted than I am now. I just finished out a two week notice for the job I have had for the last 16 and half years. What I am conflicted about is whether not to express the response that I received from those I worked.

I believe that God has blessed what effort I had in servicing the customers and the company. I received several cards expressing my coworkers thoughts and feelings of working with me. One card said "...the place and people were made better because of you working here." Others have asserted much of the same. This is because of God not me. Bob Blair was nothing more than a vessel that God was able to use for His Glory.

The conflict here is how to use this as tool for teaching other workplace believers (especially the young) about how God wants to be brought to the workplace as He does in every other area of a Christian's life. Others in the workplace will be blessed and exposed to the actual presence of Christ in a way that they will in no other place.

I would be more comfortable telling this if it were another person. (I believe there are many others better at this than me are out there.) The last thing I want to be perceived as to be bragging or self serving. For God's Glory please take this for what it really is.
