As we enter into the Season of Lent, I think it is important to
remember who precisely we are supposed to be. We are not
perfect. We are not God. We are not the glorious angelic choir
sent to dispense perfect justice to the world.
Instead, we are humans. Broken, sinful, hurting humans. Just like
the ones who went before. And just like them, we succeed in the
tasks given us, not despite that, but almost because of it… God
chooses us, in full awareness of our Sin, because it is sinners like
us that God has chosen.
We are not righteous because of the deeds we have done. We are
righteous because God has chosen us to do them.
So as long as we are willing to look inwards, willing to face our
sin, our errors, our mistakes, So long as we are willing to learn
from those mistakes and try our best to be better… there will
always be a place for us. Because Salvation comes from God. And
with that assurance, we also strive to be better.
