become

Opening Prayer: Remake me, O God, into the beautiful image you had of me before the foundations of the world. Amen.

Scripture: Psalm 139:14-18

Journal: Who are you becoming these days?  What is God’s dream for you?

Reflection:

     becoming

there is a dreamer

dreaming you

there is a you

so beautiful

and so pure

that still exists

somewhere beneath

the brokenness

and dysfunction

it is a you 

that has been

lost sight of

a you that

you no longer

believe in

but in spite of

all the wreckage

the dream still remains

buried somewhere

beneath the rubble

it is the image 

of the one who 

breathed you into being

with the divine breath

of his very own mouth

and longs to breathe

you once again

but this rebirth

cannot be achieved 

or earned

you cannot work

your way back

to this eden

you can only

be taken there 

give me your hand

Prayer

Closing Prayer: O God, make me back into the dream you initially had of me when you breathed me into being.  Help me to never settle for anything less.  Amen.
