You Came

A prayer from Emily Huff

You Came

Thank You for coming into our stories,
into our brokenness,
into our self-doubt.
Thank You that you came to break the cycle….
of the ways we wound our lives, the lives of others, and the life of the
world….
Thank You that You came to break the cycle….
of the hierarchies we have created
that only serve to distance us from You,
from others,
and from ourselves.
You came
and our souls felt our worth.
You came
to bring us a life abundant
imbued with
a theology of worthiness¹This phrase is from Erin Wathen’s powerful book Resist and Persist: Faith and the Fight for Equality.,
a theology of enoughness.
Certainly the epic drama of redemption is far from over,
but the message is this:
You came.
You came.
Thank God,
You came²The last lines of the prayer are from this beautiful reflection from Brian Kershisnik about his painting called “Nativity”..
