Thought for the Day

O Lord, you search us and know the secrets of our heart.

You know them even better than we do.

You know how we have turned away from Your call.

You known how embarrassed we can be to be Your followers.

Yet, in mercy You continue to receive us.

You remain ready to use us.

Despite our inclinations to wander, You still see us as vessels fit for good purposes.

Indeed, You continue to entrust to our care the treasure of the good news,

that Christ has come to redeem all that has been broken and lost.

May we find, in Your grace,

a desire to be worthy of such trust.
