God Wants To Save Us All

For God Did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world
 but that the world might be saved through Him.  John 3:17

In this season of penance
When we focus on our sins
It’s important to remember that the gospel is a Good News

It’s the news that God loves us 
Calls us always to be closer
When I hear sermons 
Homilies focusing on people’s shortcomings or flaws

I find myself wondering how many people listening actually
Spend most of their time logging themselves for their failings.
We’ve all heard reprimanding preachers
Found it hard to believe that we’re worthy of being saved

This passage reminds us that God wants to save us all
When I reflect on salvation
I don’t think so much being saved as of being saved
I think that God sent His Son into the world

To apply a salved to our aching consciences 
Flagging hearts to heal us
So take hope
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn us
