Channels of Your Grace

O Lord,
may we each be full of the Spirit,
full of the gospel,
full of your compassion for people –
sinners who need a Savior.
May we each bear your touch today
and in days to come!
Please help us to be channels of your grace
to all those around us.
Thank you for your willingness to use us
to reach others.

– R. Kent Hughes
