He Came For The Messes

What this picture said to me when I captured it {like I do ALL “hidden crosses” I come across} :

Jesus can be found even in the icky places too.

Yes, he’s in the beautiful sky-cross places.

And the shadow crosses, where light spills through the window and leaves the perfect casting of a cross on my floor or on my wall.

But the other day as I was cleaning with my mom, and it was cold and shivery outside, and I went to take the trash out I saw this. And immediately saw the cross, yet thought “that’s not photo worthy” – and yet- it is. Maybe even moreso.

Because Jesus came particularly for the messes didn’t He?

He came for those of us who feel like messes.

For those of us who have messy moments where we wonder if we belong here, tossed out with the trash.

Yet He meets us right where we are. He scoops us up and calls us treasure.

He says we are worthy to be saved.

And that’s a reminder worth sharing. ❤️
