Dr. Keith Warrington shared from Luke 13, where Jesus notices a woman who had spent eighteen years bent over and overlooked by those around her. Before He heals her, Jesus sees her, calls her forward, speaks to her, and welcomes her into His presence. Through this encounter, we see the heart of God toward those who feel forgotten, burdened, or defined by their circumstances.

​

Like this woman, we can carry burdens that leave us looking down and believing they define who we are. Jesus sees beyond those burdens. He calls us to come to Him as we are and reminds us that our identity is not found in what has happened to us, but in belonging to Him. His grace restores dignity, brings freedom, and gives us reason to stand tall and glorify God.
