Meditate on the mercy of God more than your mistakes.

[Mark Estepp @MarkEstepp]

When I’m looking for better, what I’m actually longing for is God’s unfailing love.

The silence of Saturday shapes our souls with patience, wonder, anticipation, anguish, seeking, and asking.

Embrace the silence as solitude not as loneliness.

Rest in resurrection.

[Mark Estepp @MarkEstepp]

Jesus came to give his life as a ransom for many.

(the means by which deliverance is made possible, instrument of release, cause of liberation, one to untie or unchain, forgiver of sin, exodus from bondage, deliverer from exile, restorer of worship and relationship, reconciler)

[Mark Estepp @MarkEstepp]

Jesus sat at the table with

-tax collectors and tax protesters,
a friend who would deny,
a follower who would betray-

And

- a declaration that his death would bring liberation from sin and the formation of a new people.

It’s possible to memorize Scripture, but not meditate on it.
