Service is done knowing that God is watching and approving whether or not anyone else is. Performance causes us to be enslaved to others’ opinions, unable to say no, and prone to being overworked. Service frees us to do what God wants, thereby saying no as needed. Performance presses us toward perfectionism, where we seek to do everything just right so others will praise us. Service allows us to do our best, knowing that God’s appreciation of us is secure regardless of our performance. Performance causes us to focus on the “big” things and only do what is highly visible or significant. Service allows us to do simple, humble, and menial tasks—the “little things”—knowing that the peasant Jewish carpenter we worship equally appreciates them both.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mark Driscoll" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mark-driscoll/performance-is-done-for-the-sight-and-approval-of-others-service-is/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a97/mark-driscoll-2287_approval-of-others_performance-is-done-for-the-sight-and-ap_2091070.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a97/mark-driscoll-2287_approval-of-others_performance-is-done-for-the-sight-and-ap_2091070.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a97/mark-driscoll-2287_approval-of-others_performance-is-done-for-the-sight-and-ap_2091070.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Performance is done for the sight and approval of others.
