Ultimately, it is the power of God that makes us one.

Each of us is a mixture of splendid possibilities

and dismal limitations.

May we be filled with the joy of knowing that the One

who began a good work in

each of us will be faithful to complete it.

Father, we ask forgiveness and enlightenment when we condemn those we don't understand.
We ask forgiveness and guidance for assuming to know all their is to know about each other, for defining, confirming, limiting, labeling, conditioning, interpreting and oppressing each other.
We ask forgiveness for excluding, withholding, insisting and resisting the inclusiveness of your love.
Amen. 

Verse of the Day

“The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”” Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

 +
 If I prayed God that all people should approve of my conduct, I should find myself a penitent at the door of each one, but I shall rather pray that my heart may be pure toward all.~Amma Sarah
