John: Thank you, Papa, for creating me and for staying with me. Thank you for thinking me up. In my very human humanity, I get to be like Jesus, “found in fashion as a human.” Thank you for helping me get through very human and humbling things.
I don’t have to be wrapped up in my survival or success. I can be available to serve you and the others you bring my way.
