Wonderful God,
You are present to us in so many ways, particularly are You experienced in the depth and breadth of human relationships. We all are created in Your image. When we look into the face of a relative, friend, neighbor, and even a stranger, we see Your reflection. Forgive us, O Lord, when we look past and through some of those around us. Forgive us, Loving God, when we act as if certain others have no significance. Our arrogance and aloofness condemns us. Open our eyes, Creator God, so that we might see. Open our hearts that we might care. Open our spirits that we might compassionately engage. For it is in Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.

The scripture for today is Romans 11:33-36:
O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”“Or who has given a gift to him, to receive a gift in return?”For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
