Never Unnoticed

 

Joseph of Arimathea,

a respected member

          of the Council,

who was also himself looking

   for the kingdom of God,

took courage

and went to Pilate and asked

    for the body of Jesus.

               Mark 15. 43

(Take courage to be a witness

     with unexpected choices

                in unlikely places.

The opportunities surround us,

but do we seek to step into

  these divine appointments

in His strength,

with His courage,

        and in His name?

The world cannot help

      but be impacted.

No witness for Jesus

       goes unnoticed.

It always changes lives,

     even our own.)

O LORD,

We are Yours.

   You paid for us.

May we know You.

May we be known as Yours.

May we make You known.

Let Your unforgettable Presence

       guide us into this day.

You have given each of us

   a story of Your faithfulness.

May we not keep it to ourselves.

Grant to us the courage

    to speak up in Your name

    and live out our love for You,

even in the most unlikely

            circumstances.

May Your Spirit

   change our choices

and get all over everything.
