🙏 Wednesday Wisdom: The Table of Grace Scripture Focus: "I desire compassion, not sacrifice." — Matthew 9:13
In Matthew 9, we see Jesus doing the unexpected: He sits down to dinner with tax collectors and sinners. When the critics questioned Him, His message was clear. He isn't looking for religious perfection; He is looking for a heart that reflects His own.
The Wisdom: Following Jesus isn’t about "getting it right" before we show up. The call to follow Matthew—and the healing of those in need—reminds us that Jesus meets us in our messy reality. You are invited to the table exactly as you are, and you are called to pull out a chair for others.
Mid-week Prayer: Lord, help me to see others through Your eyes of compassion today. Soften my heart where it has grown rigid and remind me of the grace You have so freely given me. Amen.
Action Step: Reach out to someone today who might feel like an "outsider" or is going through a tough season. A simple text or a kind word can be the seat at the table they need. 🕊️✨
