"...the very point of salvation is the reweaving, enriching, and renewal of creation! The Spirit of God is not only a preacher but also an artist, a gardener, and a banker..."
Tim Keller Pastor and Author
I love this reminder by Keller of the fullness of the work of the Spirit. The Spirit is about the renewal of the cosmos, not only individual souls (and one of the ways he renews the cosmos is by the renewal of individual souls). This reality shapes our own view of our work. When we are involved in the "reweaving, enriching, and renewal of creation" through our work we join with the Spirit in God's grand master plan. The challenge before us is to know how to take part in this rather than just sliding through life assuming it's happening because we are going about our day-to-day tasks. The question before us is, "Who do I have in my life who I think through, struggle with, have honest conversations with about whether how I do all of life reflects the fullness of the work of the Spirit.
