speak
Sometimes a picture speaks a thousand words.
Sometimes a picture speaks a thousand words.
Pablo Picasso
said this about pictures, “Every now and then one
paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping
stone to other things.”
The same can be
said about photographs.
Like this
one:
So much is
communicated in this photo.
What do you
see?
What do you
feel?
This image has
become the image of the church for me. This is what we are to be about. This is
how we are to live and be in the world. This is our mission.
While there are
some of us complaining about making cakes and others about what is or isn’t love, this is happening.
A visible
display of God’s love, Christ’s trust, and the Spirit’s presence captured in a
simple moment between 2 people.
Beautiful.
And I want you
to know this:
You
Yes you.
Stop
what you’re doing for a moment.
Listen.
Be still.
You
are loved like this.
Welcome.
Home.
Child
of God, you are enough.
Christ waits
for you with arms open and with a tenderness to calm your fears.
You belong.
You are loved.
You are wanted.
You are not alone.
God loves you,
exactly as you are.
Look again at
the photo.
If you are
hurting, let us hold you.
If you are not feeling well, let us heal you.
If you are
down, lets us help you up.
If you are
lost, let us walk you home.
You are not
alone.
You
Are
Loved.
