Merciful God
We come to you in confession
We who know of your great love
Who have sat at your feet and
known we are precious.
We who have reached out and
touched your cloak and felt your healing come to us
Who have known the freedom of
handing our heavy things to you
And we confess that sometimes
We hold this pearl of great price
Close to our chests
Bury it deep in our pocket
Keep it somewhere safe where it
won’t get us in trouble.
And sometimes we get so used to
having it around we take it for granted and lose sight of the treasure that it
is.
Forgive us.
Your great love so lavishly and
abundantly given
Is not something to be hidden
away.
Teach us how to share it, to be
aglow with it, to be overflowing with it.
In Jesus’ name Amen.
