If there is any
good that’s done through me.
It’s because of Christ,
who has set me free.
By His willing death,
the old’s all but gone.
A new creation,
to pass His love on.
The outside, fleeting,
yet insides will last.
In Christ, a new heart,
true freedom from past.
Each of us is called,
to do all we can,
to share of His love,
with our fellow man.
All were created
to be reconciled,
but all must hear it,
to know we’re His child.
(Responding to 2 Corinthians 5:14-20)
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that because You came and bore all of our ugliness, we, by Your Spirit, can be used for good. Thank You that from the moment we come into relationship with You, we are a new creation, with a new capacity to love like You. Forgive us for attempting anything in our own strength, and help us to be completely dependant on You. Use us mightily Lord, to touch hurting hearts with Your lasting love that heals and grants eternal hope, so that many may enter into an everlasting relationship with You, our Redeemer. Amen.

Amen, that was a powerful poem and a powerful prayer. I prayed it with my whole being, God bless you richly as you work in His will! Amen.
