All of our differences, which check every box in the secular book of identities and priorities, become greater assets to Christ as they are sublimated in communion with Christ and his holy fellowship. There are no spare parts in the Body of Christ. No one among the people of God is left out of the circle, no matter what their past deeds and present scars show. But there is no one left unchanged. No brokenness is destined to stay that way.
[So,] move forward in these troubled times with the work of Christ. We need him more than we could ever say; but he needs us too.
