I am reminded of the words of Joshua ‘Choose this day whom you will serve. But as for me and my household, we will serve the living God.’

That choice affects all my doings. They must see that we are Christians, Jesus followers, by our love. Our knowing = our loving = our doing. We daily need to strive to walk our talk. Practice what we preach. We need to live the Word each and every day. Today God Is First. As far as it depends upon me, I must live at peace with all mankind walking in His Sonshine, directed/guided/lead by His Spirit.

Lord, give me the ears to hear Your voice always. Lord give me the eyes that see You each day. Lord, touch my tongue so that I may speak Your words. Lord, may my hands be Your hands of love in action.

By Your presence I can be HeartStrong. GodStrong. LiveStrong.

1. Make me a channel of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me bring you love;
Where there is injury, your healing pow’r,
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

2. Make me a channel of your peace:
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, – only light,
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

3. O Spirit, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consolded as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul – .

4. Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all that we receive,
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
