Grappling With Divinity

Be my pen Lord
your love
your word
your mercy
a fount of ink
poured out
upon the blank page
of my heart
like the blood
sweat
tears
of Christ
spilled upon the arid soil
from upon the cross
giving life to the dead
the hopeless
the undeserving
may my words be yours
my thoughts be yours
my works be yours
be my pen Lord
write my life as a poem
of self-giving love
from all to all
amen
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
In what areas of your life are you still holding the pen, and what might it look like to fully entrust God to write your story through love and sacrifice?

Scripture:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” — Galatians 2:20
