Work is not who I am.

It's not even what I do.

Work is the God-given gift and privilege of participating in His creative work.

"Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it."
— Genesis 2:15

Work is exertion with purpose.

We become dissatisfied with work when we become disconnected from purpose (and when its return is less than what's invested).

God's purpose is God: God with us, God in us, God through us, God all in all—which results in His glory that all of creation enjoys. (Psalm 104, 1 Chronicles 29:11-14)

This is life—the true riches which Jesus, doing the work of the Father, came to give.

His work is good.
