I love this so much colette! And the work you've been doing is righteous, good and honorable work.
Your piece makes me think of Jesus telling some people at the End of Time, I never knew you. Even though all that while, they were just trying to be right.
I'm grateful that Christ's resurrection reaches back into our stories to uncover what was good.
(And yes, my favorite CCM bands were Jars of Clay, PFR, Jennifer Knapp, Rebecca St.James and Delerious)
Thank you, Janell! That is an interesting point I didn't think about as I was writing this piece. There will be a day when Jesus will say he doesn't recognize some of his followers because they were merely an outward moralistic version of Christianity and not those transformed by the love of Jesus.
I am too grateful that God reaches back into our story and helps us uncover the good!
