Have you ever felt unworthy of a moment? And was it difficult to enjoy? Is it because we haven't been entirely been honest, or because we just don't feel good enough. This encounter with Jesus that is recorded in Lukes account of his life sheds some light on Grace and why we are not perfect, but always worthy.
We often experience unbelievable things, some of which we may call miraculous. But if we redefined miracle as 'the unexpected'....would it change the way we find God in our stories?
Sometimes we miss what God is up to because of how God is doing it. In this awkward dinner with Jesus we are reminded to not only allow people the opportunity to change, but to allow ourselves the same grace.
When you can't find the divine in your present, look for it in your past.
