The voice of one

       crying in the wilderness:

Prepare the way of the Lord,

make His paths straight.

                     Luke 3. 4

(May we be faithful to God

even in what appears to us

     as wilderness,

these places that look insignificant

            or hopeless,

      or without meaning.

God is doing a mighty work in us

                and through us

     in ways beyond our vision.

God has placed each of us

              strategically

for His profound purposes,

for His glory,

in His Name.

Even in this.)
