Dear friends in Christ grace and peace to you. The message for this week comes from
1 Peter 3:13-22.
I remember as I was growing up I was being scolded for not doing something, a chore or something like that. I was making excuses for not doing it saying something like I was busy doing this or I was busy doing that; I meant to do it. And the response to my excuses was something like: the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions. 

As the director of Mondovi Area Clergy Association (MACA), I received an invitation to hear a speaker at the Mondovi High School this past Tuesday evening. Bonnie and I attended. The subject was bullying in schools. The speaker had spoken to around 400 hundred students earlier in the day. In the evening the adults and parents in the community were invited to come and hear the speaker. With 400 hundred students there should have been in the neighborhood of 200 parents and adults present. There was nowhere near that many in attendance. The speaker made mention of that but he also said, those of you who are here tonight show that you care and that you are good enough and he encouraged us at least of couple of times during his presentation to turn to our neighbor, give them a hug and tell them that we are glad you are here and that you are good enough.

We are all human and we all make mistakes; a word spoken, an action taken that we regret and cannot take back. For the most part, I think we as Christians are well intentioned. We try to do and say what we perceive to be the right thing. But sometimes we make mistakes. But because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we are good enough, we are forgiven, and we have the hope of redemption. 

I don’t remember the circumstances but I remember that one of our grandsons who was barely able to speak in full sentences yet, when asked why he did an act of kindness, he reasoned: “I have the love of Jesus in my heart.” If you can visualize a toddler saying those words and not pronouncing them as clearly as I’ve just written them here, then maybe we can get the point that Peter is making in this week’s text: “who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?” 
The words of Peter remind us that when we have the love of Jesus in our hearts we are doing the best that we can and that we are good enough. No matter how dark our world may seem at times, love will always triumph over evil. Jesus proved that. You are one of God’s own children and you are good enough.

May the love of Jesus be in your hearts as you live out your faith journey.
