The Hollowness Within

Almighty and gracious God, I know that your mercy is not earned by my will but yours, forgive me when my own hollowness makes me quick to condemn. Make me open to be filled with your true grace, that I may be devoted to you with my whole heart and united with your people in true affection. AMEN.
