In the midst of all this brokenness and mess, somehow Jesus’ presence feels so strong.

RECONCILIATION NOT CONDEMNATION
The love of Christ freely given to us each and every day shows us that true reconciliation is possible.
WHOLE HEARTED
Instead of imagining God somewhere off in the distance, judging my worth, I imagine God sitting beside me at the kitchen table.
BROKEN – AND, RESCUED
For me, I have been comforted in God’s closeness – God’s been in the passenger seat accompanying me through it all, suffering with me.

I invite us to let our soul rest in God and to allow God to rest upon us today.

GOD LOVES WHAT IS IRRITATING
“You have heard that it was said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you ...” – Mt. 5:43-45
Love is a choice to reach beyond ourselves to nurture the spiritual growth of ourselves or another.
STEP BY STEP
“Do I not rejoice when they turn from their evil way and live?” – Ez 18:23b
God rejoices when I take steps towards Him...
RECEIVING BY PRAYER
“Ask, and you will receive. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you…” – Mt. 7, 11
Our praying is already God answering within us and through us.
GOD WANTS TO FORGIVE AND HEAL
Jesus preached to the people, asking them to repent, just as the Ninevites had done, saying, "They turned from their sins when they heard Jonah preach." – Lk. 11:32
God wants to forgive, heal, restore, show us endless mercy, and see us come home.
WHY SHOULD I PRAY?
“Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” – Mt. 6:8
Prayer is a gift that draws me into an intimate relationship allowing me to discern the desires God puts in my heart.
