more than okay
Today's sermon was the best ever! I was spoken to in many ways but mostly by being reminded that despite my shortcomings I am still God's child and nothing can separate me from His love. Of course I knew that already in my head, but my heart needed to be reminded and I also needed to feel it again. Interesting that I had asked a trusted friend to pray that God would speak to me in today's message and the fact He did was very encouraging - for anyone having the Father remind you that you are their child has to be more than okay!
Apart from speaking to my heart in a spiritual way the message also spoke to my head. We examined Leviticus and looked at verses I have always thought were crucial from a social justice perspective but I wondered why I had never heard a Christian a minister spell out the meaning of these texts. Today that changed and the message confirmed the conclusions I had come to examining Leviticus myself - for any member of the church having ones own understanding of scripture reinforced by the pastor has to be more than okay!
Also today a good friend I asked to come to church came - and that also has to be more than okay!
