And their reply to us:

We are the servants

of the God of heaven and earth...

           Ezra 5. 11

(Not as much by what we do

       as Whose we are.

We serve God

     every which way we can.

And God brings

              His glory through us,

    not accomplishment or success,

           but our relationship with Him.

Our faithfulness to God

           is our little part.

God's fruitfulness is beyond measure

     and way past our comprehension.)

O LORD,

We are Yours.

Help us to not just act that way,

but serve You

     because we love You so much

     and You love us even more.

May we be a strong witness today

       in how we work,

       how we worship You,

       and how we respond

            with unexpected grace.

May we be known as Yours.
