An Open Letter To A Sinner

Dear Sinner,

I know how you feel. I know what it's like to feel like you aren't enough—like you're doing something wrong. I know what it's like to feel like everyone is judging you. I know what it's like to be scared to put your hands up in worship in fear of judgment of others. I know.

I have good news for you, Sinner. You are not alone. You are one of billions of Christians on this earth, and they all sin too.

Did you know that God, in His holy plan, decided to send His Son to earth for you? His ONE AND ONLY Son. He sent Him to this cruel, hateful, mean world so that He would die.

I know what you're thinking—"I've heard all of this before."—But I want you to think about this all. God created with His hands—the very hands He made YOU with—and He sculpted His Son. Not only this, but He sent that Son to die. But this death was not meaningless. This is the most important death in history!

THIS DEATH SETS YOU FREE!

That's right, Sinner! Because our gracious God sent His Son to earth, you and I are free. Those burdens you carry around, those shackles around your feet? Leave them at the foot of the cross. God is waiting for you to surrender!

God is for us. He wants us to be free which is WHY He sent His Son! In sending this man named Jesus to the earth, we are able to have a relationship with God—even as sinners.

You are enough. You are loved. You are wonderfully made. You're made new.

God wants you.

So, Sinner, hopefully, that cruel, hateful, mean world becomes a little more beautiful to you. The world around us was sculpted and created by the same amazing God that forgives even the sins that seem to be unforgivable. The world around us was meant to be beautiful, and God is pleased when we see it this way.

I'm praying for you, and please pray for me.

Blessings,

A Fellow Sinner

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
