...and he was looking

    for the Kingdom of God.

              Luke 23. 51

(Even overflowing in those people

         all around us,

we would least suspect,

under invisible layers

  and impregnable shields,

    crying out for God.

People are always

                 watching,

not to see

      if we are perfect,

but desperately to see

    if God is real

and they are loved.)

O LORD,

Grant us Your vision,

give us Your heart

to see

and respond

to those around us.

May Your love

be translated through us

      in palpable ways,

even through what

   we may not be aware.

This day,

may whatever we do,

say,

think,

see,

    bring You glory

and love others to You.
