Deuteronomy 22; Luke 8:40–56
In the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, “Children of the living God.” Hosea 1:10
So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir through God. Galatians 4:7
O holy God, whose arms are wide open to all your children, we offer praise and thanksgiving. Lead us to extend equally open arms to those from whom we are separated by the barriers of prejudice, mistrust, resentment, and fear. In Jesus’ reconciling name, we pray. Amen.
