Opening Prayer: Thank
you, O God, that you can take me, the mess that I am, and turn me, once again,
into the beautiful masterpiece you intended for me to be. Through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
Scripture: Ephesians
2:1-10 (NLT)
Journal: Write
some this morning about the transformation in your heart and life, from being
dead in sin, to being made alive in Christ.
What places within you still need to be raised to new life? Where has God transformed you from mess to
masterpiece?
Reflection:
unknotting
a big ball of yarn
knotted and snarled
looped and tangled
a big mess
this old self of mine
is it possible
to untangle this jumble
o you who
knit and wove me?
and what will it take?
time and space
room to loosen
and undo the knots
patience and perseverance
it is slow work
this unknotting
only your strong
and tender hands
can turn me
from mess
to masterpiece
once again
knotted and snarled
looped and tangled
a big mess
this old self of mine
is it possible
to untangle this jumble
o you who
knit and wove me?
and what will it take?
time and space
room to loosen
and undo the knots
patience and perseverance
it is slow work
this unknotting
only your strong
and tender hands
can turn me
from mess
to masterpiece
once again
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, continue to capture me with your great love and mercy. Continue to transform my life, and restore me to the beautiful creation you originally dreamt me to be. In your name and for your glory. Amen.
