January 16th

"As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
   as the eyes of a maid
   to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
   until he has mercy upon us." Psalm 123:2

in setting aside
my privilege, may i
become more compassionate
towards those in need.
in choosing vulnerability,
may i discover what 
the forgotten have 
to teach me about life.
in setting aside whatever
power i have (even though
i may think i have none),
may my weakness be used
to bring justice to the forgotten.
in seeking to become 
more of a servant to others,
may i make my life 
a daily sacrifice to you
and to all your children.
