"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
- Matthew 11:28

Good News for Everyone

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Like the good news of faith wasn't meant for someone like you? You're not alone in that feeling. Many people have experienced Christianity as a list of rules rather than a celebration of love. But here's the truth that changes everything: if the gospel isn't for everyone, then it's not truly good news at all. God's love doesn't have a guest list with your name crossed off. It doesn't come with conditions that exclude based on your past, your struggles, or who you are. The heart of the gospel is radical inclusion - a love so wide that it embraces every person, every story, every broken place. When we truly understand this, it transforms how we see ourselves and others. We stop asking "Am I good enough?" and start asking "How can I share this incredible love?" The good news isn't about earning your way in; it's about discovering you were always invited to the feast.


Reflection Question

Who in your life might feel like the good news isn't for them, and how could you help them see God's inclusive love?

Prayer

God, help me see Your love as truly good news for everyone, including myself. Open my heart to share this inclusive love with others who feel left out.
