What we have, we bring. Our good intentions, our mixed motives, our uncertainties about life, our grasp of truth, our partial commitment, our small gifts. None of it, we know, is good enough but it is what we offer. And we dare to believe it is received to be used by you and to your glory. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. - Amen.
