Listen more than you speak.
Leave stones un-thrown.
Turn the
other cheek and know
I see the marks of love you receive
in embracing my ways.
Each day there are new challenges and crosses
but I ask you to seek the grace
to hear and heed my voice.
Even in disappointment, failure, or defeat
I call
you to look beyond yourself.
Through small and large acts of choosing obedient
love,
you are walking in my truth
and becoming holy through love
in your daily
actions.
