You Are Loved & Worthy of Grace | Monday Invocation
Over the last few weeks we have been writing little affirmational statements on our social media that have been inspired by the lectionary and our Monday Invocation pieces. Sometimes, we get wordy in our writings about God, and really we just need a little reminder to get us through our day.
One of yesterday’s lectionary scriptures we meditated on was Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 NRSVUE – which is the Parable of the Prodigal and His Brother. This is a story that is often weaponized against the LGBTQ+ Community to call us sinners and tells us that we need to repent. So it can feel difficult to engage with this passage.
However, one thing that this passage inspired for us is this: You are loved unconditionally and worthy of grace.
No matter who you are, how you identify, what you have done - you are loved by God and you are worthy of grace when we make a mistake. No matter what anybody else says.
