A Day to Build Bridges
Lord we can feel very hurt by the way people treat us,
so much so that we keep out of their way,
pass them by, cross the road, anything.

Then a gap can open up between us,
and the longer the hurts lingers,
the wider the gap becomes,
until it seems like an impassable river.

We all need to mend broken relationships.
Help me, Lord to build bridges,
to reach out, to take the initiative,
and show love and friendship,
rather than wait until it is too late. Amen.
