Someone said this:
“Because God gives us life, we are alive.
Because of him, we can move about.
Because of him we can be who we are.”
One of your writers has also said, “
We too are God’s children.”
Acts 17:28 Easy English Bible
***
Lord, since You exist, we exist.
Since You are beautiful, we are beautiful.
Since You are good, we are good.
By our existence we honor You.
By our beauty we glorify You.
By our goodness we love You.
Lord, through Your power all things were made.
Through Your wisdom all things are governed.
Through Your grace all things are sustained.
Give us power to serve You,
wisdom to discern Your laws,
and grace to obey them at all times.
Amen.
EDMUND OF ABINGDON (C. 1180–1240)
