Preparing the Way

Mark 1:4-8

And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptised by him in the River Jordan. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt round his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: ‘After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptise you with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit.’

Lord Jesus,
If today my life made it easier
For somebody to trust You,
That would be enough.

If today my words made it easier
For somebody to know they are forgiven,
That would be enough.

If today my actions made it easier
For somebody to do right
That would be enough.

For You to do what I cannot do:
To touch the lives of those I meet
With the life-changing touch of Your Spirit.

That would be more than enough, Lord. AMEN
