THE MARK

The Washington Monument punctuates the landscape of Washington DC. It was an overcast day when I took this picture, but regardless this unique structure overshadows and marks all else in our nation's capital. In Ephesians 1:13-14 God tells us that those who believe that Christ has claimed them as his own, are marked by the Holy Spirit. This is an invisible mark, but regardless a mark that lasts for eternity. The Holy Spirit takes up residence within us to guide, heal, reassure us of God's love, grant us strength to face all of life's challenges and reshape us in God's image. God's mark punctuates our lives ...sets us a part to point people to Christ in the same way this national monument points people to our nation's heritage.
