Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted.” vss. 29-30
Matthew 10:29-34
Outside of God there is nothing. Inside of God there is everything. Jesus teaches a view of God that challenges our minds and gives peace to our souls. Even the hairs of our heads are all counted, no one of us is beyond God’s love and all that we do and are has value. Could any teaching be more inclusive or more comforting? We are so blessed! When we can actually begin to believe this incredibly good news, fear falls away and hope fills our hearts. Freed to be, we are equipped with all we need to bring love into the hurting lives of every person we encounter. Our life mission, however it plays out through the years, asks nothing more of us than simple kindness and genuine humility. Each day we are led by the Spirit into the presence of the harassed and helpless, people yearning for a taste of mercy and a moment of affirmation. We aren’t asked to convert or coerce, all we are called to be is the incarnation of divine love, something that is as natural to humans as eating or breathing. While such loving may seem beyond our capabilities, it’s as easy as letting go and letting the God in us connect with the God in the other.
Thought for the Day: What does it mean to let go and let God?
