Starting from the Fringes

The narrative highlights that God's revelation began with those on the outskirts of society, specifically the shepherds, who were marginalized and often overlooked due to their societal status. These individuals, despite their perceived unworthiness, were chosen as the first recipients of the gospel message, illustrating that divine invitation does not require personal perfection. This example serves as a reminder that one does not need to have everything figured out in order to respond to God's call. It stresses that starting does not hinge on being 'ready' but begins with a willingness to take that first step, regardless of one’s current situation.
