He sent his own Son in a body
like the bodies we sinners have
(Romans 8:3; NLT).
I seek you in my body, Lord,
And find you in my weariness,
And pain.
I seek you in my thinking, Lord,
And find you in my sinfulness,
And shame.
I seek you in my feelings, Lord,
And find you in my emptiness,
And loss.
I seek you in my spirit, Lord,
And find you in my journey,
And my cross.
If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me (Luke 9:23; NLT).
Amen.
