For we are the temple

        of the living God.

      2 Corinthians 6. 16

(And we need to live,

breathe,

work,

resolve,

approach situations,

make decisions,

and bring Him glory

          like that.

We may be the only

     church or Bible

that someone ever sees.

God says,

"I walk among you.

I am your God.

And you shall be My people."

Our relationship with God

is not just a list of beliefs.

Our love for God

and His love in us

should not just look

   very different in this world,

but compel and change us

from the very core

            of who we are.)

O LORD,

Help us to not seek

      to look different

in this broken world,

but to be Yours

in word,

deed,

truth,

   and attitude.

May Your steadfast love

   and forgiveness

radiate Your light

through the open windows

and doors

     of our actions and words.

Table set

     and porch light on.

Does anyone see

   anything different in us

by how we navigate,

how we approach,

how we respond,

how we love You

      and love others?

May we be distinguished

    by our love,

for You,

for others,

even for those

who do not love us.

Be that evident

         in us, O LORD.
