Today I joined the church I’ve been attending for about a year, the United Church of Christ.
One of the cornerstones that resonates so fully with me is the belief that everyone has a seat at God’s table, that we are here in this world to radically love others just as Jesus did for us, and that I can trust God to let the Holy Spirit work in each person’s life in the ways that are needed.
It is liberating to know that God is love, that my responsibility is to welcome and include others (the radically hard part is including those I might not like), and that God will take care of the rest.
The Internet is vast. To those I know in real life, and to those I haven’t yet met, thank you, each of you, for including me in your life. The way I see it is that you are each a living testimony of Jesus Christ on this earth.
