Remember Your Baptism (Rev. Amy Lunde-Whitler)

"God is present in this damp, drizzly season of your soul. God is present when it is all you can do to not methodically knock people's hats off. Breath deeply. Remember your baptism. God is with us, always."

What reminds you that God is always with you?

1 Peter 3:18-22

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you—not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.
