And you shall speak

    My words to them,

whether they hear

       or refuse to hear,

for they are

   a rebellious house.

           Ezekiel 2. 7

(Our responsibility

    is to bring with us

the gospel

   and the love of Jesus,

        wherever we are.

God produces the fruit.

Even in the

     most unlikely places

and among the

          most resistant,

we can never know

  who will be changed by it,

in whom God is

            already working.)

O LORD,

You have placed us

   by Your divine appointments

to pray continually,

live faithfully,

love well,

practice grace over and over,

and bring Your Word

  and Your name

even to the rebellious,

of whom we once were.

Thank You

    for the faithful ones

who were willing to speak

   Your truth and grace

   into our lives.

May we go forth

         with the same voice.
