And We Don't Have To Be

 

And you shall be My people,

and I will be your God.

        Jeremiah 30. 22

(Know who we are.

 Know Whose we are.

      And live that way.

When we follow God,

 committed to Him,

what steps do we take,

what direction to pursue,

how differently do we live

  and how does that look?

Not without hard places,

  but His strength to endure.

Not without adversaries,

  but a heart to love them.

Not hinged on circumstances,

   but bearing His joy

         in the everydays

     and even the storms,

We are loved.

We are not alone in this.

God is our God,

and we don't have to be.)

O LORD,

Guide us in Your ways today

that we would be seen

       as Your people,

strategically positioned

to sow Your love and grace

   in unexpected places,

to bear Your fruit

   in every good endeavor,

to treat others with mercy,

and to witness

      Your glory here.

Even in this.
