I’ve been praying a new prayer of late- well, maybe not new so much as just sharpening the focus of me relationship with God.
I find myself asking, “Father, please fill me with your Holy Spirit just now so that I can see Jesus, and be Jesus where you can use me. Amen.”
I want to be able to see Jesus in people that I meet; see Him in the faces of His people and their fellowship; see him in the need of those who do not know Him and be reminded that Jesus said ‘If you do unto the least of these, you do it unto Me.”
And though it certainly seems audacious, I want to be Jesus—that is let HIM look through my eyes and smile through my face—give me the kindness that is really HIM. I’m no Mother Teresa and have no illusions, but I am a Christian and I want Jesus to live in me.

I love this thought!
I remember an older gospel song with a line"O to be His Hands extended, reaching to the oppressed..."
How the church needs this today- for us to be His Body!
Have you ever read The Jesus Style by Gayle Erwin? He's been in our church and speaks to this need and desire.
I'm joining you in this prayer, Russ. May others see Jesus in us for His Glory! Amen.
Do you get my e-mail with this post?
