Lord, help me to hold myself and others to a standard of Grace, rather than perfection.
Help me to focus less on converting or condemning, and more on serving and forgiving.
Lord, expose me as a savage if that's what it takes to shatter my self-righteousness.
Give me the capacity to forgive others as endlessly and willingly as You forgive me.
Help me still celebrate Your work in those who slight, forget, dislike, insult, or injure me.
Take away my judgement of others, and help me to see You in every face.
Take away my eyes that see a brand, title, sinner, or color; replace it with vision that sees father, mother, sister, or brother.
Help me show the world that Christianity is not about rules— it's about redemption.
I trade in my life of walking on eggshells, for a life of deep adventure.
Make my life an offering of Love so audacious, so contagious, that the world sees Your heart through it and is changed by it.
