Not Ours to Save

The world is not yours, not to save or to damn. Only serve the one whose it is.

We did not create, and do not own, this broken world.
We serve the one who can restore,
Without pressure to make things right, since we cannot.

Ephesians tells us that the manifold wisdom of God
Might be made known through the church
To the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

Even the smallest things we do in love play a cosmic role.
What a marvelous gift this is,
That our actions have significance without pressure.

Thanks be to God.
