making everyday count?

ever wondered how? these few days: been wondering,
how and what should you do everyday to make it count for eternity? not wasting a single second, making every minute glorify God? then, i come up with a schedule :D do this this, that that, all seems good! then the day ends, and you just feel like the days been wasted! how can?? it just feels as if you've been using your own strength to do things.... and you know its wasted because you just cant feel God's presence with you at all. then the question comes, so how do you do what counts, yet not by your own strength? what do you do to glorify God?

AND THEN,

AN ANSWER!

yeah!! thats the best part! when God answers your questions! love it! :D
Fixing your eyes on Him and Him alone! hehe doesnt seem like it clicks eh? well heres how it does :)
making things count, heres the verse for it!

And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, give thanks to God the Father by Him. Colossians 3:17

as long as you're doing all things (action, words, thoughts) in His name, dont ya think it gives Him glory? and in His name, there is only good, so if you do all things in His name, you cant possibly be doing anything bad! reason for the verse " clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ" and if you do things only in Him, you'd be only doing things He approves of :)

next question. how about all those normal stuff? for eg, work, washing dishes, sports etc all the normal things you can think of, do those count? how do you make them count? they're nothing special, just everyday things.

same answer. Fixing your eyes on Jesus, while doing those things. this verse makes it more clear :)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:22,23

when you focus on Christ in whatever you do, we'd want to please Him, and so in whatever we do, whether the dishes, normal work etc, we work with ALL our Heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. all your heart. your heart is an important part of your body, if not the most important. you heart keeps you alive! so now ya know what it means by working with ALL your heart? :)

so we wash dishes, as washing Jesus' plate! what an honor! we'll scrub it till the cows come down if just a speck wouldnt come off! sweep the floor with al lyour heart! doing the best in all you do, focusing on Him alone, and what He thinks of you!

Working as for the Lord.
