Reflection of the Week - 26 May 2020

Posted May 26, 2020 in Faith

Each of us is on a journey of reconciliation,

with God and each other.

Restoring human relationships is part of God's reconciling mission in our world.

Through forgiveness, God's grace works to provide all with hope and a new way of living.

Micah 6:8 (New International Version)

And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

 

Thank you loving God for all the people in that live in our country

for all the races and cultures and the richness of our differences.

As we stand together with the Indigenous peoples of this land on National Sorry Day and celebrate Reconciliation Sunday

on our journey of reconciliation - forgive us for our selfishness, our lack of sharing, caring and understanding.

We pray for covenantal relationships, founded on truth.

We pray for more just, inclusive and equal relationships in our nation and in the church.

Lord God, I want my heart to break from what breaks your heart,

to be truly compassionate, to be sincerely passionate about reconciliation and justice.

Thank you Creator God for the relationship each of us can have in you.

Amen

 

Today I choose to build community,

to break down barriers

and to reconcile with others

at every opportunity in my everyday life.

 

Your kingdom come,

your will be done,

in my life today.
