...and those who

          love His name

shall dwell in it.

              Psalm 69. 36

(God does not have to

take us to new surroundings

or open new doors.

Loving Him

    and honoring His name

roots us in a

         different mind space

     with a transformed heart.

Our circumstances

        may or may not change,

but we do.

Loving Him is reflected in

how we see others,

how we see our situation,

how we see ourselves.

And God gives us strength

to live differently

     right where we are.)

O LORD,

May we walk in love

     as You have loved us,

not just passing through

         or getting through,

but planting and rooting love

     right where we are,

even among the skeptics,

the resistant, the rebellious,

   and those who are

            inwardly desperate.

May the fragrant aroma of Christ

          linger in all we do.

And may Your grace bear

        the sweetest fruit.

Help us to see others differently

     by loving them differently.
