“And i her eyes.. you see nothing ♪” by Amparo Torres O. via Flickr (CC BY 2.0)

God, what a mess.

Some of it I made. Some of it just happened.

It started small. I did not handle it well. Somewhere along the line I just stopped caring.

God, I want a do-over.

Accept my praise and gratitude for these eight grace-filled words:

and there was evening, and there was morning

I cannot relive today. You know me too well to want that for me anyhow.

If anyone is in Christ: new creation.

Your Spirit beckons me beyond this moment, beyond these remaining hours of my day, even. Beyond regret. Beyond salvage most especially.

You do not need me to fix this. Not today.

Just past the horizon, you have already begun making all things new.

God, what a gift.

Amen.
