A thought for today the Fourth Sunday in Lent
No matter how long you have wandered, come, let us worship God here.
No matter what you have done or not done, come, let us worship God here.
No matter how lost you might think you are, no matter how much you think you cannot be found, the mothering Spirit of God is here.
Come, let us worship God here, and return the embrace that has always been.
God is always making all things new! We are a new creation in Christ Jesus!
The Lord says: If you want to become my followers, deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.
Give us the courage to live as Your new creation, forgiven, loved, and whole. Amen.
The Revd Ryan Sirmons
