All Refugees

 

We are all refugees.

The world inflicts suffering on everyone, in one way or another. Ill health, poor relationships, disappointing careers, lack of opportunities, poverty … as well as wars, famines, persecution and so on.

We Christians are strangers in an alien land, and we are all struggling through, dressed in our rags, dragging our bags. Let’s be kind to one another today and every day, reaching out a helping hand, laying aside our own plans or ambitions or expectations in order to walk someone else towards home.

So grateful to Jesus that one day we will be arrayed in the royal robes we don’t deserve, because he has washed us and cleansed us by his sacrifice, through his love. Every day is a jubilee day as we approach home.
