ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHING
November 3, 2021

The other day, I was listening to the wonderful Gospel song, “The Best In Me,” sung by Marvin Sapp. It speaks of how God sees the best in us even when everyone else sees the worst in us. In the version I was listening to, Sapp goes through a litany of folks who told us that we would not amount to anything, always pointing out the negative in us. Just the way he sings it, you feel the ache and torment of those voices, yet the Good News keeps showing back up no matter how often those other voices speak their destructive falsehoods. In Ephesians 2:10, Paul wrote: “…we are God’s accomplishment, created in Christ Jesus to do good things. God planned for these good things to be the way that we live our lives.” Those words of scripture alongside Marvin Sapp’s voice is a hope-filled and transformative pairing. Remember, God sees the best in you, and through divine grace, God is working to draw out, celebrate and empower the amazing person you are.

There might be some parts of me that need a little work, yet your love, O God, is always seeking to speak a word of blessing and encouragement into my life. I give you all the praise and gratitude for that gift, and then I seek to speak a word of blessing and encouragement in to the lives of those I meet. Amen.
