Come Home
Live in Christ’s Light
In the Truth
Ezekiel 11:19
I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them; I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.
Acts 2:39
For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to Godself.
Words of Grace For Today
God calls home, home to life as God created us to live it.
Home to live with lively hearts of flesh, and renewed spirits.
Home to leave behind our hearts that have grown hard as stone with the travails of life and the evil that has bombarded us, and the evil with which we have bombarded others.
God calls us home to live with new spirits and hearts that are shared among us all. Hearts the love one another because God first loves us, though we certainly do not deserve God’s love at all, not at all.
There is no greater promise than that God will renew our spirits and give us new hearts, for our spirits and our hearts are what we have to share with each other, with the strangers, and even with our enemies. In our hearts and in our spirits God’s image is made known to us and to others, as God created us, in God’s own image, thus able to choose to love and live and give without end generously to others so that they may live.
Come home, this morning, this day, this evening, this night.
Receive the gifts that God promises
and
live.
