...for I have many

         in this city

who are My people.

            Acts 18. 9-10

(Wherever you are,

seek out God's people.

They are there.

You are not alone.

Find them,

attach yourself

       to the fellowship.

You need them

   more than you can know.

They need you too.

God never intended for us

        to go it alone.

May we act, respond,

worship, serve and love

             together.)

O LORD,

You have many people here,

no matter the surroundings,

no matter the wilderness,

no matter the unknown.

Help us

     to be one of them.

I am always amazed

how Your people

           fit together,

providing friendship

and fellowship

and loving each other

in unlikely places

and among the unexpected.

You have placed us

strategically,

   even right here

for Your Kingdom.

No random encounters.

Just divine appointments.

We all can use

    a little encouragement

from Your people.

We are one of them.

We are one with them.

Even our with-ness

      is a witness.
