Wednesday Riff: Your Choice

Thank you Lord that you choose us,

No reservation, no love held back,

Thank you Lord that you choose us,

Not because we are perfect,

But because you are gracious and kind.

Thank you Lord that you choose us,

With all our foibles, and personality traits,

With our strengths and weaknesses,

Experiences and preferences,

With our gifts, goals, fears, and dreams.

Thank you Lord that you choose us,

To bring a smile, a welcome, a generous gesture,

To be your hands and feet and face in this world.

To share your courage and kindness,

As we draw strength and inspiration from you,

Our source and hope, our guide and friend.

Thank you Lord that you choose us,

Knowing full well that we are flawed and compromised,

Knowing our life stories and our regular ups and downs.

Thank you Lord that you choose us,

Calling us by name, and giving us each day, a new start.

If you've appreciated this, why not...
