Apparently, the Catholic church has deemed me unworthy. I recently discovered I'm supposed to be excommunicated because I had an abortion decades ago.

I am so deeply sorry to hear that! You are so loved by Jesus. His heart is full of mercy, and His arms are always open, no matter your past. Let His love remind you—you are cherished.

Please know that this is a decision made by people who are bound up by legalism, and who have lost sight of the love of God. I am sad that this is happening, and pray that God will wrap His comfort around you.

Sarah, thank you for this potent reminder of the Truth. And the Truth-giver. I've been struggling with my inability to rest, though I've been told again and again that it can be my default, I still doubt, and I'm frustrated by my forgetfulness. But He says to come WHEN we are weary and heavy-laden, that He will give us rest- we aren't asked to shed all that first and then approach Him. He invites all of us, in all our mess. I'm grateful!

This was such a beautiful message to me. Thank you, your words touched my soul so deeply.

I need to read these words every time I’m feeling unworthy, as the cunning one knows how to steal everything good I feel about myself. 💛

To know that, despite my past and my imperfections, God knows me, sees me, and loves me unconditionally. Sometimes that is overwhelming to me, but then, again, I realize, I'm not perfect. We are all not perfect, and this is a perfect example of loving others despite our flaws, mistakes, and past experiences/trauma. Thank you Sarah for this blog and your word. Have a blessed day
