Evening: Psalms 128, 129, 130; Mark 10:1-16
When Jesus speaks about divorce, I feel the weight of my failures. I know (and this was revolutionary back then) Jesus was teaching men not to regard women as property, but his words still feel hard. Next, though, Jesus invites us to live with the simple trust of a child, open to a new world. My life is clearly imperfect, but that is not the end of my story. Jesus promises a spacious place (Psalm 18:19) of welcome in spite of my brokenness: “Come to me, you who carry heavy burdens ... my yoke is easy, my burden is light.”
