Yesterday I was asked about how I view this. Paused and then I responded with...
"For me luxury in the hospitality/travel arena is still about living others-oriented rather than inverted (overly self-minded), seeing their world through their eyes and working instinctively. It’s about making friends while showing utmost respect, yes it’s courteous relationship-building in an elegant, uplifting, professional sort of manner. It's about closing the loop with straightforward follow-up until you know the guest is 100% satisfied, then improving from there because that is keeping our promise to them! Yes, it has a lot to do with regularly listening well, asking appropriate questions, reading the room accurately, anticipating and addressing multiple needs at once while quickly prioritizing. Luxury today is knowing the guests’ preferences even before someone needs to ask for anything. As a concierge in today’s US culture, I never stop networking (our watchword: service through friendship), seeking to master this trade of hospitality. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing with excellence! It’s the consistency, genuine care, and going beyond what’s ‘high-end normal’ that garners their respect. Yes, it’s about the team working well together for their sake. We earn this by pushing the boundaries to impart ‘better than magic’ service with classy panache into their everyday Dallas experience. Vigilant concierges know it starts with ears, with affectionately-attentive hearts and generous minds towards people from all walks of life – I’ve made this my life-purpose!” Kv
Has serving always been as easy as rolling off a log? Nope, probably like in your life.
Have you had some things gone NOT the way you had planned? Has life gone pretty tough on you and it's hard to remain nice to people?
Even if you feel like you are, guess what.. you are not living in God's Plan B for your life, believer.
Joseph’s life and experience certainly weren't near perfect but in jail, was Joseph living God's Plan B out.. or did he feel like he was living God's plan B?
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Gen. 50:50
God worked it all for good in his life. Even his career had a resurrection huh.
I say, expect great things from our living God as you serve.
If you leave out the Cross of Calvary event, you have killed thee belief system of Jesus for all people. Atonement by the blood of Jesus along with His physical bodily resurrection (1 Cor. 15:12-19) are not 'a few arms of Christian truth'; they are the heart of it! Jesus, coming out of that borrowed tomb is the very Capstone in the arch of our historic faith. This truth is an Essential of all Essentials. If so-called Christians don't believe in Christ's resurrection guess what.. they need to get saved. They've been misled. Heading towards perdition is not a good option for you or anyone. Grab your Bible. Re-check out the evidence.
