There is no such thing as Christian work. That is, there is no work in the world which is, in and of itself, Christian. Christian work is any kind of work, from cleaning a sewer to preaching a sermon, that is done by a Christian and offered to God. This means that nobody is excluded from serving God. It means that no work is "beneath" a Christian. It means there is no job in the world that needs to be boring or useless. A Christian finds fulfilment not in the particular kind of work he does, but in the way in which he does it. . Elisabeth Elliot
About This Quote

You can not say no to work because it is not your work. So the only way to find the work you like to do is to find activities that makes you feel happy and also make you feel like you are doing something good for the world.
