Words of Assurance

You know when you just wish you had someone you could trust completely, someone who created the space just to listen?

Someone who took you seriously and truly cared how things were going?
Someone who would ask, “How are you doing?” and really want to know?
Someone who never thought less of you for any reason?
Someone who comforted you when you didn’t feel the best version of yourself?
Someone who travelled with you each moment in your grieving?

That is God’s gift of grace revealed in Jesus and powered by the Spirit. The good news isn’t just that God loves us, but that God is Love, a love that never lets us go. Thanks be to God.
