Greetings in our Lord!
 
From eternity past, God planned for His people "to be conformed to the image of his Son" (Rom. 8:29). Conformity with Christ affects all we do. We have a different set of priorities and perspective than the world around us.
 
Without His priorities and perspective, life can seem rather meaningless as seen in a study of the book of Ecclesiastes (Eccl. 12:13). In Him we have purpose, so our lives count.
 
Whether in the workplace or on a ministry team, Christlikeness causes us to act and react with both grace and truth. We maintain integrity because He is holy. We love even those who offend us because He is love.
 
Let's rely on His power to work within us as we "press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold" of us (Phil. 3:12).

Because of Jesus,
