/
What if instead of wondering if someone is worthy, we focus on being humble, knowing that we’re not perfect either? What if we live with patience, trusting that we’re all just doing the best we can? What if we were to bear with each other in love instead of judgement? And what if we didn’t even judge our own worthiness? Because why should we? God doesn’t.

Palm Sunday shows us the extremes of human experiences as Jesus is celebrated but then betrayed, condemned, and executed.

And when the intensity of it all feels like too much to hold, God holds us.
Read MoreWhen Darkness Is Coming, Providence Podcast Episode
