PASSAGE
2 Corinthians 5:14-17
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

PRAYER
“A Liturgy for Changing Diapers”
Heavenly Father,
In such menial moments as this – the changing of a diaper –
I would remember this truth:
My unseen labors are not lost, for it is these repeated acts of small sacrifice that – like bright, ragged patches – are slowly being sewn into a quilt of lovingkindness that swaddles this child.
I am not just changing a diaper.
By love and service
I am tending a budding heart that,
Rooted early in such grace-filled devotion, might one day be more readily-inclined to bow to your compassionate conviction – knowing itself then as both a receptacle and reservoir of heavenly grace.
So this little act of diapering –
Though in form sometimes felt as base drudgery – might be better described as one of ten thousand acts by which I am actively creating a culture of compassionate service and selfless love to shape the life of this family and this beloved child.
So take this unremarkable act of necessary service, O Christ, and in your economy let it be multiplied into that greater outworking of worship and of faith,
A true investment in the incremental advancement of your kingdom across generations.
Open my eyes that I might see this act for what it is from the fixed vantage of eternity, O Lord –
How the changing of a diaper might sit upstream of the changing of a heart;
How the changing of a heart might sit upstream of the changing of the world
Amen.
