Creator God,
You walked this earth—
Bare feet in the Garden of Eden, Bare feet on the road to Golgotha.
You took on flesh and bones,
A beating heart and human hands, Skin that could bruise and a heart that
could ache—
All to teach me how to love.
So Creator God,
This Lent I pray—
Take all of me in return. . .
—excerpt from "All of Me, All of You" by Sarah Are
