(THESE ONE A DAYS ARE ADDED TO EACH DAY)
Once there was a little boy who was crippled by polio and had very low self-esteem. Each time his mother would leave him at Sunday School he would ask if he could wear her locket. “She thought I liked the locket,” he would often relate in later years. “It wasn’t that. I really didn’t like the locket, but since I felt I wasn’t worth enough for her to come back for, I knew she would come back for the locket.”
There are more people than I like to remember who have told me they don’t feel worthy to come to church. I then remind them that they have the right simply because they exist. That the church is not a country club for saints but a community of sinners and that’s why we all need God’s forgiveness.
“For you, O Lord are good and ready to forgive (our trespasses sending them away, letting them go completely and forever); and You are abundant in mercy and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You.” Psalm 86:5
