Seven Principles for Integrating Your Work and Faith (7 R's)
1. Reconciliation -- Integrate your professional self with your spiritual core
2. Reflection -- Seek God's wisdom to do the right thing
3. Role Model -- Let who you are speak for what you believe
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12, NIV.
4. Respect -- Respect the dignity and worth of all people in a diverse work environment
5. Risk -- Allow your faith to overcome your fear
6. Reach Out -- Connect with your associates in a non-threatening, yet meaningful way
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3,4, NIV.
7. Reward -- God is the reward of those who diligently seek Him
"...because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6, NIV.
"...Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." Genesis 15:1, NIV.
Make this your signature day.
"... Each man's life is but a breath." Psalms 39:5, NIV.
