We have a calling: to love God with everything we have and to love our neighbor as ourselves.  We have a mission to make disciples, telling people about what Jesus did in our lives. 

We know what we’ve been given: all of these blessings “in Christ”. 

We know where we’ve come from:  from death to life. 

We know where we’re going: Heaven is our final destination. 

The only thing that will stop us will be settling for an image rather than resting in our identity.  Christ has more.
