“Whoever is in Christ is a new creation; the old has gone, and the new has come!”(2 Corinthians 5:17)
The recycling department of the City of
Clinton (North Carolina) is located a few blocks down the street from
our house. On the wall facing the street there are three murals made
of discarded plastic containers. This prayer is inspired by those
murals.
Recycle Me
I offer my life to you, O
Lord.
It's not much, I know. I got
the sin in me.
I'm not exactly perfect. Not
even close, really.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm
any good at all.
Still, I offer myself to
you. As a living sacrifice.
Take me, I pray, and use me
for your glory.
You are the God who makes
all things new.
You take us as we are, but
you don't leave us that way.
Your specialty is
transformation.
You take broken and sinful
humans,
and you make us new
creations.
Recycle me, Lord.
Re-use me.
Renew me.
Make me part of something
beautiful.
I offer my life to you, O
Lord.
Use me, for your glory.
Amen.
