Exploring the gift
So destitution is a gift from God, a gift that first takes away and then gives.
They say that every true gift tells as much about giver as recipient. So a gift is not simply something that the recipient wants or needs. To be true it needs to speak to the giver, say something about that person. If this is true, then destitution must not only be from God but somehow of God. Yet how could the creator be destitute? Or is it a form of destitution and kenosis merely to notice human beings at all, to stoop to interact with their dissheveled unruly attitudes? Is the destitution one goes through something God is going through at the very same time? And is that in fact the gift?
