God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches right in. He chooses people as his instruments and performs his wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness; he loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak and broken. – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
And thank God that he does, otherwise he might not have much to work with.
I’m thankful for and often surprised that someone (or multiple someones) would read these daily emails from me.
I’m far from perfect.
In fact, I have quite a lot to work on.
Each day is a reminder that without God’s help, I would not be able to get very far.
Each day is also a reminder that with God’s help I can’t lose.
I don’t have to be perfect or brilliant or handsome or whatever.
My job is to be the best version of me, doing whatever God asks of me.
My job is to lean in to the small whispers that say “try this” or “say that” or “go here”.
My hope is that when I do, I lighten the load of another – even the tiniest bit counts.
My hope is that you can do the same.
Make it a great day.
Jake
