I was reading in the gospels last night and I’m constantly shocked at how backwards the Kingdom of God is compared to the way this world works. If you want to receive, give. If you want to be honored, humble yourself. Love your enemies. Turn the other cheek. Blessed are the poor. To find your life, lose your life. The list goes on and on…

It reminds me of a quote by G.K. Chesterson. He said that “a saint is one who exaggerates what the world neglects.” So I made a list of the types of people that the world neglects…

the ugly
the poor
the abused
the lonely
the sick
the fat
the hungry
the old
the weak
the disabled
the depressed
the addicted
the confused
the abandoned
the loosers
the broken

Flip this list and you’ll have the world’s idea of a perfect person. The world says blessed are the fixed but God says blessed are the broken. In other words, blessed are those who are in a position to know that they need a Savior.

anyway…
