Almighty God, how holy you are! You are clothed in impenetrable light, vastly beyond us and awesome, utterly pure and righteous. You graciously made us your beloved children and gave us every good gift, and yet we turned our back on you and walked our own dark path of sin, embracing darkness and reaping death. Thank you Lord, that you rescued us, forgave us, and purified us, making us holy, even as you are holy. Please help us to live out what you have made us in Christ, rejoicing in the overabundance of your grace to us in Christ.
Amen
