ephesians, again :)
it’s late & i’m straight up determined to get to bed before 12 tonight, but i was reading through ephesians in the message version (it seriously gives you an entirely new way of looking at things. love it) and this stuck out to me: People who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives stand on the same ground before God. They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The message is accessible and welcoming to everyone, across the board. um, amazing. it will never cease to blow my mind how much God loves us. as humans, we divide ourselves—knowingly and unknowingly—for so many different reasons. we compare, we judge, we separate. jesus doesn’t. THAT’s the good news. no matter how its wrapped, all the different ways that i hear it, it will never stop blowing my mind. god doesn’t have borders, he doesn’t compare us to one another. whether we know him or not, hate him or love him, believe in him or speak out against his existence—we are all on an equal playing field. we are all offered grace. comfort for my soul. in a world that plays favorites, god never has and never will. i just think thats THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER :) ok that is all, goodnight!
