The word of God is living and active:
it probes the thoughts and motives of our heart.
Hebrews 4:12

Lord,
often Your Word has made me uncomfortable,
questioning me,
challenging me,
urging me to rethink the way I live.

I remember being troubled by these words:
Love your neighbour as I have loved you.

Uncomfortable,
but necessary.
Revealing,
but true.

Your Word exposes what I would rather avoid
and invites me to grow
where I would prefer to remain unchanged.

May I be transformed through the power of Your Word,
little by little, moment by moment.
