Prayer sentence 4

 

I invite you to breathe in and slowly exhale.  I invite you to rest in the promise that you don’t have to earn or deserve your way to God’s grace, forgiveness, and love ~ no matter what a preacher said growing up.  God isn’t Santa Clause watching you to see if you are naughty or nice.  God doesn’t keep a score card or give us badges for our salvation sashes.  God doesn’t have accounting problems.  Grace is.  Full stop.  And because of this holy truth, I offer you these wonderful words from Justin McRoberts and Scott Erikson for today:

 

May my limitations be doorways to partnership and relationship rather than reasons to feel shame and isolation.

 

May you find ways to let this truth wiggle and work and reach out to others who might share in the collaborative and cooperative conspiracy called, “life”.  Amen.
