According to Jesus, the reign of God is for losers. It’s for all the people who’re afraid that they’re not worthy, that they don’t have enough going on to commend themselves. It's for everyone who's spent too much time feeling left out, left behind, left holding the bag—all those people who are so casually ignored by everyone else every day.

The good news of the Gospel is that no one has it all together—least of all, the people who cling to wealth and power like a life preserver in an angry sea. Our lives aren’t blessed because we’ve managed to do amazing and wonderful things that make everybody else envious. Our lives are blessed because God desires us, regardless of our condition. We are saints, in other words, not because we’re perfect but in spite of the fact that we’re not.
