...for I bear on my body

     the marks of Jesus.

            Galatians 6. 17

(What in my life identifies me

      as a follower of Christ?

What attributes,

what selfless actions,

what attitudes toward others

       and circumstances,

what responses to need,

what expressions of

             unexpected love?

"What are the marks of a heart

that has been radically changed

        by the grace of God?"

              -- Timothy Keller)

O LORD,

May we bear the marks of love

    throughout the day

that give evidence

    that You have changed our hearts

and that we love You.

May Your light shine through us.

Help us to bear witness

and point others to You

    in word and love

in whatever we face today..
