The Excluded

At the outer edge of all systems and groups are those that have been excluded. The excluded have been feared, rejected, devalued, hated, and violated.

Will we be those loving souls that go to the edges, to those who have been excluded and persecuted?

Are we people of a loving God who will reach out to include the immigrant, the stranger, and those perceived as different?

We are made whole when we include hidden, feared, and the shadow side of ourselves and our community.

In acceptance, we are renewed and made whole.
