Brokenness Amidst Beauty
We live in a broken world. It is marred with sin and so much brokenness. I attended a church service recently (it has been a long while I visited that branch) and that brokenness yet beautiful was so visible. Many I knew as strong and agile have grown quite frail. I watched one particular old woman who could barely walk; she was once active in church and the inevitable phase of aging had caught up with her. I saw the young who have grown into adolescence. I was fascinated with how time has flown so quickly with so many changes. I saw many left hands with glitters and glee of being called Mr. & Mrs. I was fed the ‘gossip’ of who is expecting a baby, many who have moved away among others. Very often we are caught up in our small little world that we barely see and appreciate being part of a church family. We hurriedly set off right after church and hardly spare time to speak with others. Our own struggles blind from seeing what God is doing among the community of believers! Ou
