Lenten Love #33

Ok, so I saw this quote today from a Lutheran minister who I have a lot of respect for named Nadia Bolz-Weber.  I think this was from a sermon she preached: 

"So go ahead. Don't wait until you think your motivations are correct. Don't wait till you are sure you believe every single line of the Nicene Creed (no one does). Don't worry about coming to church this week for the right reasons. Just wave branches. Shout praise for the wrong reason. Eat a meal. Have your feet washed. Grab at coins. Shout crucify him. Walk away when the cock crows. Because we, as we are and not as some improved version of ourselves...we are who GOD came to save. And nothing can stop what's going to happen."

We are exactly, our brokenness and pain, are who Christ came to save. I'm not sure there is any better news than that!

Have a great night!
