- Your work is a blessing from God Tom Nelson Being made in God s image, we have been designed to work, to be fellow workers with God. To be an image-bearer is to be a worker.

Rather, it means thinking out the implications of the gospel worldview and God s purposes for your whole work life and for the whole organization under your influence.
