Below is an excerpt from Trevin Wax's blog, Kingdom People. A link is at the end of the blog. May you glory in nothing but the scandalous cross and in no one but the mighty and merciful Christ.
May you rejoice in your deliverance from a cruel death, a deluded slavery; from a bleak and desperate wandering.
May you be at peace in your Father's house.
And may you who've been chosen by Sovereign Love, choose to lay your lives down that others may live.
May you take up the weapons of deliverance, the prayerful instruments of justice and mercy.
May you live out and proclaim the reign of the King.
May you humbly submit to the rule of your faithful Father and follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
May His grace so fill you that you overflow with the confident hope and joy His terrible and glorious death won for you.
And welcome all who hunger and thirst; who, willing to lose, will gain, who, willing to die, will truly live.
