My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. Isaiah 55:8
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop him. Whoever is not against us is for us.” Mark 9:38–39a,40
Master, whom we serve, give us the mind of Christ as we seek to faithfully obey your precepts. Give us the strength of Christ as we strive to serve others and be Christ-like examples to them. Amen.
