Writing On Our Hearts

Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany, where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German.

In Jeremiah 31, the prophet says, “I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

On Reformation Weekend, we hear about how God will put the word on our hearts. What does that mean to you? How does your heart experience God’s good news?

Two years ago, St. Timothy became a Reconciling in Christ congregation. How might it sound to a queer person to hear Jeremiah’s promise now (“they shall be my people”)?
God is not done re-forming us, our church, or our world. What is one way that you experience God’s re-forming grace in your life? Any ideas about what is ahead?

I am grateful for the ways that you keep opening your hearts to be formed in fresh ways for new circumstances. Thanks for sharing your living faith through St. Timothy!
