All Creation Will Join the Celebration - Traditional

Jesus’ resurrection happened quickly, but it took time for his disciples to understand it. Likewise, our adoption as forgiven children of God happens in an instant and yet it takes a lifetime to live into. Forgive us our impatience when we want you to “fix” us but grow weary of the hard work of transformation. Help us to become patient with You, each other, and ourselves so that you can use us as instruments of transformation for others, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
