For Salvation

For Salvation

God,

You created us for fellowship with you.
We are designed to walk with you and delight
in your ways. But every day, we choose not to do
that. We choose to go our own way. We put up a
sign on our heart: Keep Out. You could just let us
wander off. You could see that sign and walk away.
But you don’t. You seek after each one of us, and
you sent your Son, Jesus, among us to call us back.
Back to a full, open and loving relationship with you.
Back home. Help us respond to that call. Help us
turn away from ourselves and toward you. We are
awestruck at this amazing gift you offer—life with
you, forever. It is hard to comprehend such a gift.
All we can do is touch it at the edges. But where
knowledge fails, faith and love succeed. Give me
faith in your saving power. And thank you for the
love that rescues me. In the name of your Son, my
redeemer, Jesus Christ.

- Amen
