Hebrews 4: 14-16.
You've already gone before us,
O Christ,
passing through the heavens
and making a place for us.
You've also been one of us
and experienced the joys and failures
that we face as human beings,
but without sin.
Your own human life
was a brief moment in time.
Now you live in each one of us,
knowing our sins and struggles.
our hurts and happiness,
and walking with us
through our dark places
and into your light.
We know that you are with us,
closer than our very breath,
in the thrumming of our heartbeats.
You are holding us with compassion and grace,
most especially when we are in need.
Thank you,
Jesus,
for being one of us,
and being one with us.
+Amen
