Flawed and Cherished

Flawed and Cherished

These two words – flawed & cherished - stand in complete opposition to each other it

appears.  Got flaws?  Perhaps you experience love and endearment from those closest to you, and everyone else stands off, looks at you with questioning eyes, simply because of some flaw.  It could be a physical defect, the clothes you wear, the way you smell, or your method of speaking.  And we get labeled as “FLAWED” when any of these circumstances happen.

Good NEWS!  Though you may have a flaw, there is one who cherishes you and esteems you as worthy of love.  He is the Christ, Jesus – the Son of God. 

His grace reaches out to you, even you, and invites you into a relationship with him.  He wants you to come near, draw near, be near.  He wants to impart His presence into your world and into your heart.

You, too, are a beloved one.  You are one for whom Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice of His own life, so that you may have life. 

Forgiveness, grace, love, mercy, peace is offered to you in spite of your flaws. 

That is truly good news.

The gospel of Matthew is pertinent here.  “Come to me all who labor with heavy loads, including whatever flaws you bear.  I will give you rest.  Take my ways upon you, for I am meek and humble in spirit and you shall find rest for your soul.”

The one who offers is faithful and just.  He sees you as you are and loves you in the middle of your misery. 

Come to the saving Christ. 

Let His hope and mercy wash you anew.
