Keep

I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

(Y)ou can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what's best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.

"Don't think you have to put on a fund-raising campaign before you start. You don't need a lot of equipment. You are the equipment, and all you need to keep that going is three meals a day. Travel light.

Come to me… Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.

Watch what God does, and then you do it,
like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love.

Matthew 5:14 Matthew 6:7 Matthew 10:9 Matthew 11:28 Matthew 16:17 Ephesians 5:1

A bountiful harvest requires faithful service.
