Romans 8:11
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

I don't have much on the walls of my bedroom.  I do have a cross made from the altar wood of a former congregration which renovated and used the old altar as gifts for current members. As wall crosses go, it isn't very ornate or beautiful, neither is it rough-hewn or "realistic."  It is just a cross. It is just large enough that I can see it without my glasses in the morning and the last thing I see at night. There are both evenings and mornings when I feel "dead" physically and spiritually. But the cross of Christ, even in its ordinary form on my wall, has the power to tuck me in and lift me up.

Holy God, pour your Holy Spirit into our days and our deeds. Amen.
