  9. “Enoch walked with God” (Gen. 5:24) “Noah walked with God” (Gen. 6:9) “Moses endured, as seeing Him who is invisible” (Heb. 11:27) “I (David) have set the Lord always before me” (Psalm 16:8; 139:7-12) “We look not at things which are seen” (Paul, 2 Cor. 4:18; cf. 2 Tim. 4:1-2) True “Spirituality”

  10. Gracious God, We are before you. We are always before you. You see us as we are and Love us for ourselves. You hear the words We cannot say. You know the longing We cannot express.

  11. Grant that it be enough for us To be seen, To be known, and To be loved by you this moment. (Ben Campbell Johnson)
