Sometimes it’s easy to forget that Sunday by Sunday, as Christians gather together, everybody has a limp.
For some it’s visible, for others it won’t be apparent just to look at them, but we are not the people who have it all together and who have had perfect lives.
But in our fragmentations and past experiences do not define us.
Instead we’re defined by the one who has come to each and every one of us and comforted us, because his grace is sufficient for us and his power is made perfect in weakness.
So we gather together, each of us with our limp; each of us radiant vessels of grace.
