Worship note [w2]:

 

 

     Lord, you are great and mighty.  You set humans in motion with your breath of life.  You gave them a will, as you have a will - they were created in your likeness.  You have put it in them, and you have proven to them, that it is in their best interest to be good as you are, and although they fell and chose against you, your word prevailed, and you threw on them the mortality that you promised.  Yet you did not leave them in an uncomforting state of despair, because your goodness prevailed, and in your mercy and wisdom, in time, you gave us the example of your Son.

     You work with us, Lord, when we are broken before you.  Your goodness, God, is made valid through the way of your Son.  Your Son is the verifier of you and your goodness, and we are co-verifiers of you with Him.  We, like Christ, seek to prove your virtues, however we fall to a halt when find ourselves as if we had run out of ways to please and prove you.  We fall to our wit's end at times, not knowing what next to do, and we fall short of your power, forgetful of our own power that you allow us, and we hesitate to experiment for you, and lacking creativity we find ourselves in a tasteless void, a cease in motion, a halt neither forward or backward, a hovering, halting, between good and bad (a thing that you detest), and we become forgetful of the fact that we exist in your very image.

    You have clothed us with weaknesses because your end intent is good, and we grow more in the grace and knowledge of your Son when we approach a weakness as an opportunity to gain more good, because it is the weaknesses in the life of one who fears you that withhold him from entering into the greater good half-heartedly, and when the weakness is overcome, the overcomer can more thoroughly appreciate the fresh good he has discovered, and here your will, God, is more thoroughly completed, for you want us to experience your good in an optimal capacity, true heartedly and with confidence.
