Father God Lord Jesus Holy Spirit We present ourselves before You again this Sunday. When the kingdom comes We will be your chastened and obedient people. We will live together in family intimacy In a second Eden, but better Because we will have learned it is Wiser to say, “Your will be done” Than to insist on our will being done. We will, like the thief on the cross, Be with You in Paradise. Paradise because You are the host. You who envisioned this whole existence. Using your voice, You created a universe. Out of nothing, something. You imagined a family for yourself so You designed and created humans. We gather today to remind ourselves, Once again, of this biggest of pictures. But also to partake of the smallest, Most personal interaction with You. The hairs of our heads are all numbered. You are attentive to the smallest details. You are both/and. Both the eternal King of the forever Kingdom And a tenderhearted parent to each of us. We will never give up reminding ourselves Of your supremacy and your affection. There’s always more to experience. And the best is yet to be, with You, forever. Amen
