Gracious God, who has created all things for your good pleasure, including we your children, grant us eyes to see your children as you do, recognizing their belovedness and potential for redemption and reconciliation, so that we might seek their good as you sought ours and brought us into your kingdom of light and love, through Jesus Christ who died for all that all might one day live. Amen.
‘From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way.’ – 2 Cor. 5:16
