How my job makes a difference
"I diligently help others work through complicated life problems. Living out compassion and understanding so they might see Christ in me and find hope in Him in otherwise hopeless situations."
What sentenced could you write to summarize how your job relates to God's plan in this world?

God's Gift of Hope
One of God's gifts to us that we see in the story of Christmas is hope.
The gift of hope inspires us to keep moving forward in a positive direction despite the negativity around you. When you have opened this gift of hope, you begin to live with a confidence that makes others shake their heads. Other will wonder why you are so upbeat and exhibit such a "can do" attitude. When you have confidence that the King of universe, in whom all authority resides (Matthew 28:16-20), is on your close confidant you can attempt bold things. If you are feeling down today and tempted to surrender, take heart, Jesus has overcome the world. There is hope for all, for the King has come.
The gift of hope is ready to be opened. Unwrap the gift and receive God's good news to you.
