O God, for your love for us, warm and brooding, which has brought us to birth and opened our eyes to the wonder and beauty of creation, / We give you thanks. // For your love for us, wild and freeing, which has awakened us to the energy of creation: to the sap that flows, the blood that pulses, the heart that sings. / We give you thanks. // For your love for us, compassionate and patient, which has carried us through our pain, wept beside us in our sin, and waited with us in our confusion. / We give you thanks. // For your love for us, strong and challenging, which has called us to risk for you, asked for the best in us, and shown us how to serve. / We give you thanks. // O God we come to celebrate that your Holy Spirit is present deep within us, and at the heart of all life. / Forgive us when we forget your gift of love made known to us in Jesus, and draw us into your presence. / Amen.
