It makes us who we are, our story, our lives, our interactions and how we build resilience and know that there's another world possible which we are invited to participate in building!! It's our ownership of the fact that despite the pursuit for happy-ness, we are mostly all broken in some way... because life is hard and we struggle!!
The invitation 'to follow' Jesus is an invitation to life, not in trite terms of 'have I got a deal for you' or solely concerned with life beyond death but 'life in all it's fullness' which I was reminded today includes the ups and downs... so being broken it seems to me gives rise to wounded healers, is the space for ministry and offers us hope of another way!!
