Imperfect, Yet Loved
November 30, 2017
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
In Japan, food products are immaculately prepared and packaged. Not only must they taste good but they must look good too. Often I wonder if I am purchasing the food or the packaging! Because of the Japanese emphasis on good quality, products with slight defects are often discarded. However, in recent years wakeari products have gained popularity. Wakeari means there is a reason in Japanese. These products are not thrown away but are sold at a cheap price for a reasonfor example, a crack in a rice cracker.
My friend who lives in Japan tells me that wakeari is also a catchphrase for people who are obviously less than perfect.
Jesus loves all peopleincluding the wakeari who society casts aside. When a woman who had lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at a Pharisees house, she went there and knelt behind Jesus at His feet, weeping (Luke 7:3738). The Pharisee labeled her a sinner (v. 39), but Jesus accepted her. He spoke gently to her, assuring her that her sins were forgiven (v. 48).
Jesus loves imperfect, wakeari peoplewhich includes you and me. And the greatest demonstration of His love for us is that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8). As recipients of His love, may we be conduits of His love to the flawed people around us so they too may know that they can receive Gods love despite their imperfections.
I know Im not perfect, Lord, so help me not to be hypocritical and pretend I have it all together. Open my heart to others in acceptance and love so that they might know Jesuss concern for them.
Broken people are made whole by Gods love.

Thank you so much!
I was feeling kind of down today because of my recent
illness and limited hearing ability.
Some folks roll their eyes when I ask them to repeat themselves.
Todays lesson was a balm for my soul!
