I like colouring in. There is something very satisfying about the simple task of taking a black and white image and adding colour to it. Recently I found a book of reflective prayers to colour and I painted the one below. Prayers like this are often taken lightly, casually and can be are dismissed as airy-fairy or overly religious. But look at what the words imply, it’s about seeking a life of purpose, a desire to not live in a Christian bubble but to actively be part of the world. Meeting others where they are at and loving them with the father’s heart. Compassion is tough, it can hurt and comes at a cost, but it results in action and changes lives. This is about a desire to speak truth and justice, making every word count for something, a cry for wisdom in a world that desperately needs it.
May my conversations be significant,
May my meetings be blessed
May my path cross the paths of others who love you,
May my path cross the paths of those who don’t know you.
May my touch be your touch of infinite gentleness
May my words be your words of wisdom
May my eyes see with your compassion.
