Forgiveness

Creating life-giving Godde
We catch a glimpse of you
in the gradual warming of the day
enticing the blue-tongue out of hibernation
to live and move in the freedom of the garden

Abundant life-giving Godde-with-us
You accept and hold nothing against us
We feel the touch of your hand
Reaching out with an invitation
to bask in the light of your love

Challenging life-giving Spirit
You warm us gently
As we venture forth
from cold or dark or lonely places
asking for and being open to
the possibility of restored relationships

We are in awe
of your goodness and love toward us Godde
Help us to loosen our grip
on the things we need to let go of
And to begin to know deep in our being
The depth of compassion
The height of mercy
and the wideness of your loving arms
surrounding us
and those on our hearts

We pray through Jesus
who lives with us
and knows us so well

Amen
