Remember…⤵️

…the church is not for the perfect.

It is for the sinner. ❤️

It is for those seeking healing and comfort.

Just as a hospital is for the sick, the church is for those in need of God’s grace. 🤕 ⛪️

Jesus dined with the tax collectors and the sinners.

Not because they were righteous.

✅ But because they needed healing.

Church is not a sanctuary for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

Come as you are, not because you're perfect, but because you're in need of the Great Physician. 🏥✝️
