"And despite the ragtag nature of my human-hearted faith,whatever I can give always ends up on God’s mantel.Whatever I can give always calls for pride and joy."—from the poem “Here’s My Heart” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed (@writingthegood)
The second Sunday of EasterWandering Heart: Here’s my heartartwork is "Feed My Sheep" by Nicolette Peñarandainspired by John 21:1-19“While we interpret the heart as love, it is also a symbol for endurance and patience. Peter gets to this point by maintaining goodwill and faith in the message of Jesus. He stumbled through the journey and at times caused more harm than good, but Christ was also patient with him.Here’s my heart. Here are the things I care about so deeply. And you—someone who makes mistakes, doesn’t follow directions, and sometimes even betrays me—you are so loved and trusted enough to keep this good work going even after I’m gone.This is a message to all of us. It doesn’t matter how poorly you may think of yourself or how others may view you. To Christ, you are beautifully and fearfully made. And Christ believes in you in spite of it all.”For the full artist statement, please see worthingtonumc.com/feed-my-sheep-by-nicolette-penaranda/A Sanctified Art LLC

The prophecies have been fulfilled! Truly, God is in this place.”For the full artist statement, please see worthingtonumc.com/where-by-hannah-garrity/ A Sanctified Art LLC
