Jesus was a leper who came to save lepers, heal lepers, and commission lepers to go and do as he did. Daily, he comes to us asking that we recognize our leprosy. He invites and challenges us to dwell apart from the crowd of disbelievers and open our eyes to the tattered shreds of humanity who cry out with pain. He asks that we remain in the desert of our own vulnerability face, touch, and live in our weaknesses and grow to love ourselves as we are, not as we or others wish we were. Hurting and alienated people who seek healing will come to us in our desert places.
Indifference is the greatest indictment Of the Christian world.
And Christ the Great Failure Loves us more for our efforts Than our successes. Bridges depend upon the support of pebbles And the world is saved To the extent that we give as Christed individuals.
