Martin Luther argued,
if… Baptism is made dependent on faith, we (would) scarcely ever arrive at the assurance of having sufficient faith and thus at the validity of our Baptism. … Baptism … points to the fact that salvation comes only from God.
Pause to breathe throughout the day. Allow the water you encounter at various points in your day to be a reminder of God’s Grace offered freely to you and to all of creation. Do not think you will earn your worth, or your salvation, today. Simply trust that God calls you a beloved child. Allow l this to be enough, to carry you through whatever you face this day.
