Walk in Gospel Power

I bless you today
To walk in the power of the Gospel—
To be fueled for Joy
And for every good work
By the sheer force of
Overwhelming Good News.

May your every thought
And motivation
And desire
And commitment
And aspiration
And effort
Be energized by
A heart-flooding contemplation
Of the finished work of Jesus
And may the sheer delight
Of total acceptance in the Beloved
Cast out the fear that
Would otherwise taunt and detain
Your mission in this world.

Paul declared himself
“Unashamed of the Gospel”
Because he knew that the revelation
Of the Good News of God’s saving work
In the cross and resurrection
Was and is the very power of God!

Walk in the power,
Beloved, may you
Walk in the power!
