*Reflection on Luke 13:12* How often do we, like this woman, find ourselves bent over by the weight of our circumstances, our past, our fears, or our failures? We become so accustomed to looking down that we forget to look up. Yet Christ sees us in our synagogues, in our daily routines, in our places of worship and work. He calls us to Himself, not because we've earned it, but because His nature is to heal and restore.
