May this week bring moments of grace you didn't expect, strength for the work before you, and reminders that you do not walk alone.

God's presence goes with you into every meeting, every conversation, every challenge, and every opportunity to serve.

Peace for the journey ahead.

Jesus called Matthew not after he had everything figured out, but right where he was.

Again and again, Jesus meets people where they are, offering mercy instead of judgment, welcome instead of exclusion, and hope instead of despair.

May we follow Christ's example by creating spaces where all people know they are seen, valued, and loved, and by serving our neighbors with compassion, courage, and grace.

"I desire mercy, not sacrifice." — Matthew 9:13
