The Messenger

From cliparting.com

Now I am sending my messenger—
    he will prepare the way before me;
And the lord whom you seek will come suddenly to his temple;
The messenger of the covenant whom you desire—
    see, he is coming! says the Lord of hosts.

But who can endure the day of his coming?
    Who can stand firm when he appears?
For he will be like a refiner’s fire,
    like fullers’ lye.

He will sit refining and purifying silver,
    and he will purify the Levites,
Refining them like gold or silver,
    that they may bring offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
    will please the Lord,
    as in ancient days, as in years gone by.

Now I am sending to you
    Elijah[a] the prophet,
Before the day of the Lord comes,
    the great and terrible day;

He will turn the heart of fathers to their sons,
   and the heart of sons to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike
    the land with utter destruction.

Malachi 3:1-4,23-24

"Lord Jesus, cleanse me and purify my heart.  May I be Your worthy servant to bring Your message of hope and love to the world.  Amen."
