engaging the broken

God engages the broken.  He cares about the least of these.  The homeless, the lost, the losers.  And so there is a difference between real spirituality and what humans have done with religion.

Religion gives people an excuse to ignore the poor.  Religious people come up with all kinds of reasons why they don't need to help the broken.

Spiritual folks are different.  True spirituality shakes a person up.  It breaks through their excuses.  It helps them to see that "we are all in this together" spirituality drives us head over heals into the realm where we want to help the less, the least and the lost.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, and we can make it even better by learning to care for the broken.
