I am publishing this post in the early morning hours, so it seems like a strange time to send a benediction. But whenever you hear it, I hope you know it’s true and that you can lean into it.
Here’s how I finished a worship service yesterday:
“This is the most matter-of-fact way to end a service, but it’s also profound: You are loved with a love you cannot lose. And since that is true, it’s yours to share.”
I say the same to you as well:
You are loved with a love you cannot lose.
And since that is true, it is really yours to share.
