Shame may scare us into behavior change,
but it never forms Christ in us.
Only love transforms.
Only love roots us in who we really are.
but it never forms Christ in us.
Only love transforms.
Only love roots us in who we really are.

Jesus doesn’t say “change, then you’re loved.”
He says, “You’re loved — now walk with me.”
Transformation is downstream from belovedness.
Always.

We’ve misunderstood spiritual warfare by turning it into spectacle.
But Jesus reveals its true shape:
Washing feet
Forgiving sinners
Touching lepers
Blessing children
Welcoming outsiders
Love is how evil loses its power.

Before the blind see,
Before the lame walk,
Before the dead rise,
Jesus does something even more miraculous —
He gives people a place at the table.
Belonging isn’t the result of healing.
Belonging is where healing begins.

God doesn’t erase your wounds.
God transforms them into signs of solidarity.
Even Jesus kept his scars.
