As Christians, we are called to serve others and to love our neighbors as ourselves. One way we can do this is by using our professional networking opportunities to serve those around us. We can look for ways to use our skills, resources, and connections to bless others and make a positive impact in their lives.
We believe that God has given each of us unique gifts and talents to serve Him and others. In 1 Peter 4:7-11 MSG, it says, "Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help. That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he’ll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!”
Our professional network can be a powerful platform for using these gifts and talents to further God's kingdom. Whether it's through our job, our volunteer work, or our personal relationships, we have opportunities every day to make a difference in the lives of those around us.
