my Great Father, He Who Is
adored.
How can I worship You?
How can I show my face to You?
The sacrifice of your Son is the Justifying act that changed the world. It is enough. Help me to see. Convict me of my sin, rend me, envelope me in a fire that burns away my impurity, that putrid stuff I want to cling to. Help to to hate that sin I now love. Turn my desire for the slime and crud and dirt and mud that pervades my all into a desire to be more like You. As the Psalmist said, “Wash me, make me Pure within.”
Make my desire for You overwhelming. Bring me back to You, away from the place I was before. Bring me out of my shame and into Your light. Help me defeat my shame, not by dwelling upon my sin, but by dwelling within Your Son. I know Your love is greater than all my sin, Help me to know. I cry out with the words of the father from the Gospel of Mark: “I believe! Help me in my unbelief!”
Make me know You more.
amen
