II. Selections
Psalm 84:1
How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD of hosts!
Ezekiel 39:28c-29
I will leave none of them behind; and I will never again hide my face from them, when I pour out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.
1 John 3:2
Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.
Matthew 10:24-25a
" ...A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. ..." [ Jesus to the twelve as he sent them out]
III. Meditation: What we are, what we will be
Lovely is your dwelling place.
When we see you as you are,
then we will be like you.
Now we are your children.
Do not hide your face from us;
pour your Spirit out upon us-
leave none of us behind, O God.
As disciples, servants, make us
like our teacher and our master.
