...for I bear on my body

    the marks of Jesus.

               Galatians 6. 17

(We are identified as His

by what others see,

our inward transformation

visibly manifest in our lives,

our outward response

   in the crisis,

   in times of need,

   in the unexpected,

   in the most ordinary of days.

Do we bear

          the marks of Jesus?

Love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness,

         self control.

A loving heart,

willing hands,

and a good attitude.

O LORD,

May we approach this week

by putting on

the new nature today,

button on love,

fill our pockets

         with grace,

and see everything today

   with Your vision in this.
