Change

(Job said to God,) In the past I heard about you,
but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
And I am ashamed of myself.
I am so sorry.
As I sit in the dust and ashes,
I promise to change my heart and my life.”
~ Job 42:5-6 (ERV)

God’s servants will worship him. They will see his face. God’s name will be written on their foreheads. ~ Revelation 22:3b-4 (ERV)

God, a time is coming when the changes you are making in us will be so thorough that people will look at us and see a reflection of you. It's like your name is written all over our faces. We know that is coming but we want you to start now.We want to be seen as your people. I want to be recognized for my relationship with you and nothing else. Might people see Jesus in me. Amen.
