O, God our Father, whose love for us never ceases, cover Yourself in glory through our attitudes and actions this day; remind us that you are close to us, indeed in us, as we move through our work and that this is your work into which you invite us, your plan that we walk out earnestly albeit imperfectly,your love that we demonstrate to the world; help us to rest in the scandalous privilege of belonging to You. It is in the precious name of your son, Jesus, that we pray.
Amen
Well-Said Quotables
“If man really is fashioned, more than anything else, in the image of God, then clearly it follows that there is nothing on earth so near to God as a human being. The conclusion is inescapable, that to be in the presence of even the meanest, lowest, most repulsive specimen of humanity in the world is still to be closer to God than when looking up into a starry sky or beautiful sunset. Certainly this is why there is nothing in the New Testament about beautiful sunsets.”
