Who we are versus what we do? Is there a difference?

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   Here is a question for you to ponder as I ramble on: What is the difference between what you are and what you do?   Think about this for a moment.  Ask yourself: "What I am is......." and then ask "What I do is......"
    What you do is.......work.  We work for what?  For money to pay our bills, keep us alive and the collectors away from the door.  When we do work, we should work as if we are working for the LORD and do the best possible in our job; whether it be sweeping the floor, building a building, or talking to people.  Do it as if Jesus were in person, standing right beside you.
    Proverbs12:11,13 "A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has not sense" & 13 "The wicked are trapped by their own words, but the godly escape such trouble."
   If we work hard, do our job, i.e. what we do-- we will be okay; however,  if we lie, cheat, manipulate then what we do will trap us.  Are you with me in thought?  Okay, hang on.  So what we do is work, be godly, and are surviving and living.
   Now, what we are-----what you are----what I am----is??????  We are missionaries who must carry the word to others in the world.  The little gem you cast forth from your mouth, the gem of your actions  will bring about fruit.  We are children of God.  Most children emulate one of their parents (or in broken homes a personal hero) and they begin to act like that person.  1 John 3:1 "See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are. But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know him." Are you truly emulating or acting like your Father in Heaven?
      So, looking at this verse, how important is it to be a missionary and emulate our Father, God, so others may see?  What are you?  YOU ARE:  a child of God, a missionary, a sharer of the Word, part of God's family.  Then what are you going to do about it?  Are you a "right Christian" who goes forth and shares the good news about his/her Father; or, a hibernating Christian not sharing.  Stand tall my friend, your father is king of kings and Lord of Lords.  Do others see Jesus Christ in you?
   In Christ's Love and Grace
