Mark the blameless

and behold the upright.

               Psalm 37. 37

(Watch how they live,

how they love God

              and others,

how they respond,

how they pursue God,

and what they do as a result.

Who are they

         in your life?

God has placed

   His anointed people

   in your life

for His deepest purposes

and for His glory.

Seek them out.)

O LORD,

You have strategically placed

          others in my life

who have profoundly impacted me

      by their faith and love of You.

For the most part,

    they have no idea

    how You have used them

  their words, their deeds,

  their faithfulness,

to change the course of our lives.

Help us to seek out Your people

    for the deeper side

                 of fellowship

and to grow in You.

And then again,

we have no idea

   how You are using us

in the lives of those

         all around us.
