Dust settling # 4
August 5, 2021
I’m encouraging each of us to devour I Corinthians 13 and act with that love in a new place. Jesus shows us many examples of reaching those others ignore, even despise. A tax collector, the woman at the well, children, disabled, others taken advantage of. Start small. Visiting those in prison, a cup of cold water, a listening session. Generosity to meet needs: living requirements, justice, just caring.
Each of us has a circle of touch or influence. What would happen if each of us immersed ourselves in verse 7 ‘always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.’ That’s how love looks and acts.
Today shows that a quick swipe at a problem solves nothing. Our countries wounds and sins are too deep. Perseverance, my friend. Loves doors are open and desperately needed today.
