To love the unloved ones

(4th C. fresco)

I have been so struck by the need for healing and the offer of it should we but reach such a short distance. Distance that our fears, our hurts, our dashed hopes and stifled sobs have made. Help is so near and yet so very far away.

As I have prayed for the courage of those around me to reach out, touch and be healed, the words of  Mike Busbee's wonderful song, 'Make me like you' have been echoing in my brain and so I share them with you here:

With mercy You've shown me Your unfailing love
Your holiness purges my sin
Your blood has redeemed me, I'm washed in Your grace
With patience You cleanse me within

Make me like You
Take the pieces of my life and make it new
Make me like You
Make me wholly completely brand new

To love the unloved ones To count all but loss
I'll take up my cross for You
To picture You broken To see You as King
For You anything I will do

Make me like You
Take the pieces of my life and make it new
Make me like You
Make me wholly completely brand new
