For each of us there is a change that happens when we encounter Jesus.

The gift of peace that comes from God is so complete that we will be amazed at how it permeates our existence, how it strengthens our relationships, how it overwhelmingly sets us at ease.

When we take our rightful place in the Kingdom we are to point to Jesus. It doesn't matter our title, our job, our status, but our responsibility is to help others see the love of Jesus.
