My picture is in God’s wallet

My mom was unchurched much of her life. She joined the Lutheran church in her 80s. Can you imagine? She said a milestone in her life was being pictured in the church directory. In her mind, she had arrived. Maybe she saw it as a public confirmation that she loved and trusted the Lord. Or maybe it  was affirmation to her that she was included in the Body of Christ. It certainly makes you ponder , doesn’t it? So take a fresh look at the faces in your church family and remember we are all loved, accepted and belong. And know His reach goes far beyond your church. 

I have engraved your name into the palm of my hand. Isaiah 49:16
