Mosaic Lincoln

Mosaic Gathering Liturgy: February 16, 2020Children of the Living God,what is our Father’s greatest desirefor us this day?That we should love our Kingwith all our hearts, with all our souls,with all our minds and with all our strength.And how would we show this love?By remembering him at all times.By cultivating thankfulness for his many blessings,and trusting his good providencefor the meeting of our needs.And by loving all whose lives intersect our own.By choosing to serve ratherthan to be served, to be woundedrather than to wound.And by bearing patientlywith the failings of others,extending the same kindness,mercy, and compassion that God in Christhas so graciously offered us. We bring to you Lord, our irritations we carry in this day,that you might reveal the buried seed of it - notin the words or actions of another person, butin the withered and hypocritical expectationsof our own weary hearts.Uproot from this impoverished soilall arrogance and insecurity thatwould prompt us to dismiss or disdain others,
