No Exclusions

 

...in order that in everything

    God may be glorified

    through Jesus Christ.

 

              1 Peter 4. 11

(In everything,

    individually,

    collectively,

         any and all,

in what seems obvious,

even in the unexpected

    and in strange situations,

may God be glorified

          in all that we do.

The big picture is made up

    of even the tiniest details,

    which are never insignificant.

What is our aim in this?

    Our own glory or His?)

O LORD,

We ask that Your glory

        cover, influence,

   and infiltrate all that we do.

May You not just appear important,

          nor prominent in our choices

       but preeminent in our lives,

by what we love

      and how we serve You

   in responding to others

              and loving them.
