Dear God,

I want to be a bible story for you.  I want to be a testimony to faith for you.  I want to be a source of divine love for you.

As I sat in the monastery chapel waiting for worship to begin, the thought came to me about being a bible story for you.  What is my life worth if not a testimony, a witness to faith?  Otherwise, I would simply be a consumer of religion without any evidence of living faith.

What would it mean for me to become a bible story?  How would I live differently?  How would I share my faith in tangible ways?  How would my story be written for others in a way that makes a difference in the world?

Show me
the way
to become
a compelling
bible story
for you,
O Lord.
Make my life
a living testimony
of faith,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
