Wisdom from Scripture:
Ephesians 4: 1-4 (NIV)
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
John 15: 15-17 (NIV)
“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.”
Prayer:
O Lord, our God, this morning we pray for all who are searching for something different, something special, something divine in their lives. Help them to hear your call and to believe in their calling. Help them to find their truest identity in you and to serve joyfully. Fill the void with divine energy and purpose. Amen.
