Servants of Christ

In humble service, we stand tall,
With hearts that heed the Savior’s call.
To place others’ needs before our own,
In every act, His love is shown.

Entrusted with gifts, both great and small,
We strive to be faithful, giving our all.
Time, talents, and resources we share,
For God’s glory, with utmost care.

Human judgment, flawed and blind,
In God’s approval, peace we find.
His gaze sees the heart’s true intent,
On pleasing Him, our focus is bent.

Refrain from haste in judging others,
For only God knows what each heart covers.
In patience, we trust His perfect plan,
His wisdom guides us, hand in hand.

Genuine faith, in actions pure,
Not for show, but to endure.
Living true to our divine call,
Authentic before God, we give our all.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
