Centering Scripture
God was pleased…to reconcile to himself all things…by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross, (Colossians 1:19-20, NIV)
God has now reconciled in the Son’s physical body through his death… (Colossians 1:22, NIV)
Centering Prayer
The dimensions of your love overwhelm me. They are beyond my puny brain. At one level I can explain it: it takes life to save life. Life is carried in blood. So, it takes blood to save a life. But explaining it and comprehending the magnitude of the depth of your love for me, and the length you are willing to go, to restore me to you brings me to my knees. All I can do is say “thank you, my friend. Thank you.”
