How truly amazing it is that our God can take the broken things in this world and create something new. He creates us from the dust of the earth. He births His kingdom from lost and disobedient people. He takes our own vulnerabilities and uses them to create deeper connection and community. He can take our blindness, and show us how to see without bias. He takes the brutal and destructive ways we treat each other, and creates hope and healing though it all. And He invites us to do the same, to reach out to others and create something new and good amidst the pain and suffering in the world. To do this is to be like Christ.
