Or maybe you feel paralyzed as you see suffering and brokenness that seem too big to enter into or even look at. It’s precisely here that we can rest in the truth that our calling to see comes as those who have first been seen, and stunningly so, by our God. It is from this new identity that we are invited with the shepherds to see not only our Savior, but also those at the furthest margins, following as he relentlessly redeems. Recorded by Andrew Secrist.
