God of affection and attention, who invites us to
align our hearts, souls, minds, might, and whole lives to You. We confess this isn’t easy, God. Have You been online recently? Have you witnessed our leaders berate and belittle each other, and blame one another? Have You
seen how people’s identity is fed by bank account balance and politics, and
being seen as in control/in charge? Of
course, You have God. This teaching on
love feels both difficult and demanding, yet also like the balm our souls need. How can this be? We don’t comprehend, but are compelled by the
promise and possibility. We trust, O
God, You are not asking us to be perfect or get straight A’s every day at
sharing love. You ask us to try, and in
our trying, You collaborate and conspire with us. So God, take my life and let it be wrapped up
in Your great mystery. Take my efforts,
faint and feeble, let me be part of working with You to let heaven loose here
and now. Take all I do and say and where
I am, so that Your great love might expand and embrace more than I can imagine. Take this day, and fuel my light to
shine. With God’s love to each and every
one of you. Amen.
