Prodigal: It is so quiet you can hear a pin drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Good time to seek the Lord in prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father, you have used all types of people for your holy purposes: prostitutes, murderers, persecutors, liars, thieves, swindlers, the illiterate, the blind, the lame. Grant me the grace to treat everyone I meet as someone for whom Jesus died and rose again. Let there be no unwholesome or unholy distinctions in my eyes and no unworthy favoritism in my actions. Rather, make me into a vessel through whom Jesus shines. In Christ’s name I pray. amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seal, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revelation 5:9<\/p>\n\n\n\n
