If anyone says to you,

"Why are you doing

               this?"

say, "The Lord

     has need of it."

         Mark 11. 3

(Live in such a way

of responding to God,

with grace, tangible love,

forgiving hearts, sacrifice

and concern for

the well-being of others

that people are compelled

to ask why.

"What kind of person

 does something like that?"

That which points others

not to ourselves

but to the God we love.)

O LORD,

Help us to be responsive

to Your nudges

to listen,

respond and follow You

   in the very details.

Help us to be

courageous in love,

persistent in grace,

sensitive to needs

    of all kinds,

both visible and

            hidden,

unafraid to

     known as Yours.

And live as Yours

          in real time,

no matter the

      circumstances.

Even in this day,

others are watching

   to see if You are real.
