Broken families & Jesus, my brother
Strange how there is often something out there in cyberspace that hits the spot and burrows into it. I guess cyberspace is big enough for that.
After feeling lately both that there is not a hole in the ground deep enough to bury myself in and that people can be very "unsafe", I read this post from Cathy.
For the Christian, the one relationship that means life or death is secure. It is the only relationship in the world which cannot be undone by our poor performance, or anyone else's. Jesus has done everything necessary so that he will be unashamed of his blood purchased brothers forever. The only family which is ultimately safe to be in.
