None are perfect, but all are worthy of love

Morning: Psalms 85, 87; Joshua 3:14 – 4:7; Ephesians 5:1–20
Evening: Psalm 89:1-29; John 9:1–12, 35–38

People build walls – physical and figurative – to keep others out. Religious groups especially develop formal and informal rules about who may belong. Jesus healed a man born blind; some thought the man unworthy. People sometimes tell me they are unworthy of God’s love; they think they have to earn it. Love that you have to earn is not love. Search your heart … Do you trust that you are worthy of love? The Good News of Jesus admits no-one is perfect, but all are worthy of acceptance and love. Don’t believe anyone who says it isn’t so, including yourself!
