You may have wandered
You may have stumbled
You may have tripped
You may have fallen
You may have crashed
You may have failed
It doesn’t mean you’re finished
It doesn’t mean it’s over
Throw yourself into the gracious, loving and merciful hands of God.
He will pick you up!
Today we remember this incredible man who embodied the Gospel message through his pursuit of unity, commitment to love, and the powerful legacy he left behind!
Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. —Martin Luther King, Jr.

What an incredible privilege it is to be invited to co-labor with the God of the universe in his harvest.
We don’t have to —we get to.
“therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:38)
When you take time to understand the why, it may be easier to forgive the what.
Hurting people hurt people.
Forgiveness does not excuse bad behavior — it forgives it.
