I have nothing to add to this humbling encouragement. Paul David Tripp, in his book, How People Change, writes:

“We have been chosen from the mass of humanity to live in an intimate union with Christ. It is amazing even to be tolerated by God. It would be an honor simply to be invited to the wedding. It is beyond comprehension to be the beloved bride of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

When you understand this, you can’t help but live life aware of the honor, privilege, and blessings that are yours. Yes, your job may bore you. Yes, you had hoped to do something more significant. Yes, you wish you could find a way out. But you do not go to work searching for fulfillment. It may give you a sense of dignity, but it does not define you. In Christ, you are full, joyful, and satisfied. Although you have a thankless job, you know that Christ never forgets what you do in His name. As part of the bride of Christ, you are connected to the most important things in the Universe. Your union with Him gives meaning to everything you do and say.”

Today, may Christ truly be the Lifter of your head. You are His.
