"Do your work willingly, as if you were serving the Lord himself. "

~ COLOSSIANS 3:23 CEV

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

~ ROMANS 12:1-2

"You are like the salt for everyone on earth...You are like the light for the whole world...Make your lights shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in Heaven."
