A Sacred Awareness

 

Do this in remembrance

             of Me.

         1 Corinthians 11. 25

(This verse applies on

a deeper level than

  instructions for Communion.

Have we even considered

    approaching, pursuing,

    entering,  or navigating

   this course of action,

   difficulty, or relationship

        in the name of Jesus?

Do we go differently into this

   --whatever it may be--

because we are believers?

Seen not as adversity,

  but an opportunity

              as a witness.

Not as a road block,

   but a starting block, 

   knowing God has placed us

        strategically here.

A remembrance

     is a sacred awareness

of what we have seen,

       known and experienced

that causes us

         to live in His name.)

O LORD,

Help us to recognize

          Your Presence

  in the strange, hard

  and even ordinary

        incidents of life.

Grant to us the awareness  

   to actively respond

to inconveniences, needs,

  and souls around us

in remembrance of You.
