Trust, my only coin
“Take up your cross and follow Me!” “If you love me, keep my commandments.” Your words illuminate my failings and denials, Lord…In wearied familiarity with my sinfulness I fix my eyes upon the bright scars of your ransom for me. Why did You suffer so terribly for me who even now remain unconverted? Yet Your wounds, Your hands, Your heart and Your word are filled with promises that You desire to fulfil in me and in others through me. In my hands I offer You my only coin—trust against all appearances, hope despite my heartache, and faith despite my obvious powerlessness and failure.
Please ever deepen my faith, hope and love, so that You may act freely within me. Mercifully accept this meagre offering and open Your treasure house of love to me and to all whom You wish to serve through me. For their sake and in reparation of our sin, for peace and goodness in our troubled world and in worship and thanksgiving to the Trinity—please desire all Your own desire in me and in all for whom I pray.
I ask this so that Your creative dream is wholly ours and we are wholly Yours, living only and fully Your loving will. 1981
