1/12/11

Good evening, God.

Forgive us for not swimming in the deep end of the baptismal waters into which you have called us. We dip a toe in the water, wade in the shallows, but we fear the deeper waters, afraid of what a life lived with complete abandon to you might look like. We forget that you have washed us clean, body and soul, and that every ounce of our energy should be offered to you in grateful praise. Remind us once more of the depth of your grace, and inspire us by your Holy Spirit to live into our baptisms, our common calling as children of God.

Amen.
