Assurance of Pardon by Helenmarie Sunkenbergy
God is like a loving grandmother... shelling peas, apron-covered knees spread wide to catch each pea, each pod.
I, shaky, wandered near. Her ancient swollen hands pushed back the hair that hid my face. She set down the pan and patting her knee, said, "Oh child, come on up here and let me have a look at you."
Her face was safe and so was I sitting, accepted, in the lap of God.
Hear the Good News! Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. he old life has gone; a new life has begun.
Know that you are forgiven and be at peace. Amen.
