Lord,
I praise you for new beginnings,
where love is the goal,
loving you by bringing all of me,
exposing every piece of me to your grace
and your unending waves of mercy and kindness
breaking over me…
enabling me to rise again and again,
to see by your Spirit through the eyes of my heart,
cleansed continually of sin, wounds, and lies,
now open to the beauty in others,
that you’ve placed as a treasure to seek.
I bless you as you call me forth,
realizing now I never had to be perfect to answer,
and I rise from a long, barren wilderness,
leaning on you, my Beloved,
forgetting what is behind,
and pressing on towards the goal of heavenly love,
sweet intimacy with you Lord.
I love you,
Amen.
