Walking...

Margaret Lee Runbeck, an American author (1905-1956), quoted the following:

A man leaves all kinds of footprints when he walks through life. Some you can see, like his children and his house. Others are invisible, like the prints he leaves across other people’s lives: the help he gives them and what he has said—his jokes, gossip that has hurt others, encouragement. A man doesn’t think about it, but everywhere he passes, he leaves some kind of mark.

Lord, as Your children, help us to leave Your mark on the people, places, and things of this world. Let us leave the marks of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another in love and forgiving one another as Christ has forgiven us.

Lord, reveal to us anything at work in our lives that would bring harm to Your name and ministry on this earth through word or deed. As we confess that which You reveal to us, then take it from us that we might be instruments finely tuned for Your Glory, walking in Your strength and ways!

Colossians 3:1-4
1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and our life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

His,
