They said,

"We can see plainly

that the LORD

has been with you."

           Genesis 26. 28

(This verse reminds me

of another,

"And they recognized

that they had been

with Jesus."

         Acts 4. 13

There is something

different about

    a Christ follower,

and that would be

not an adhesive nametag,

but Jesus abiding

      in one's heart.

"Excuse me,

but your relationship

with Jesus is showing."

And that would be

evident in how we respond

and how we love.

Others are continually

watching to see

if God is real.)

O LORD,

Please come in

and take residence in us.

Direct our thoughts,

appoint Your plans,

mark Your paths,

and align our hearts

           with Yours.

Help us to know

that it is Your love

that changes us

and alters

the course of our lives.

May we be distinguished

and recognized

        as Yours.
