What Steve Jobs teaches us about God

Unless you've been living under a rock you're probably no doubt aware that Apple visionary Steve Jobs has passed away. Jobs wasn't even 60 yet at the time of his death. What can Jobs teach people of faith though? Steve Jobs teaches us to always strive for our dreams and live into the gifts God has given us regardless of how people view those gifts. For every Steve Jobs there's twenty more who were discouraged from using their God given talents for the world. Steve Jobs taught us about compassion. Jobs was often ranked as one of the best CEO's to work for by various different polls. This was due to Jobs remaining one of the lowest paid Fortune 500 CEO's while offering his employees better benefits. Finally, Steve Jobs taught us that at the end of the day our life is in God's hands. For all the gifts God blessed Steve Jobs with, none of them determined when Jobs would die. Only one knew that. Jobs' work here on earth is done and one can only hope he is experiencing the glory of heaven at this moment, so thank you Steve Jobs for living a life worthy of being remembered. Thank you for being a dreamer and using your God given talents to better the world when all the naysayers said you couldn't. Thank you for showing everyone that with a dream, a little faith, care for the people that work for your company, and determination you can change the world and not let it destroy you.
