Psalm 100:1-2 The Message
Today, I attended a Homegoing Celebration for Diane Marquis. For as long as I'd known her, she was intensely passionate about pointing people to Jesus, at every opportunity and in every situation. Diane had such a heart for the lost and downtrodden! One time, she disguised herself as a homeless person, unkempt AND unwashed, then entered her church on a Sunday morning to see how the people would react. She was very happy to report afterward that they passed the love test with flying colors!
Diane was demonstrative in her love for the Lord. I don't know quite how to explain it, but she seemed to be perpetually in His presence. I remember one time during deep worship, watching her literally go to her knees before the Lord. She was in her late seventies and I wondered how she was going to get back up. The point is I don't think it ever crossed HER mind to wonder how she was going to get back up. Her only conscious thought was to bow before the King of kings and worship at the feet of Jesus. That's who she was... What a legacy!
Prayer:
Father,
Comfort Diane's family as only You can. Help us to let our life light so shine to those around us that they may recognize You and glorify You! We pray according to Your Word in the Psalms, Teach us Your ways, O Lord, that we may live according to Your truth! Grant us purity of heart, so that we may honor You. With all our hearts, we will praise You, O Lord our God. We will give glory to Your Name forever, for Your love for us is very great. You have rescued us from the depths of death. Create in us a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
