Accepting Evangelicals
Prayer |
I, born wrong footed, struggled.
Not with the weight of the universe,
but with myself.
Now my past grows larger by the day,
and youthful folly haunts me:
ghost-like.
Transmogrified by time
I, grey-haired, smile
at my ghost.
For he who changed me
saves me, daily.
My future comes to me,
and I embrace God’s will.
Struggling
not with the weight of the universe,
But with love profound.
Michael.

The Love of God
(based on Psalm 36)
Your love, O God, breaks the small boundaries of our
understanding.
Your faithfulness is not constrained by etiquette and protocol.
Your
righteousness is as firm, yet as fluid as the ever-changing face of the mountains.
Your
justice can plumb the depths of our humanity and raise us up to new heights.
You, O
God, have created both the Gay and the Straight.
You love and nurture us all.
You
preserve and honour our lives.
In you we find refuge and strength,inspiration and courage,
From the abundance of your spirit, without partiality, you give of yourself to us all.
For with you is the fountain of life, in you we find acceptance and renewal.
