Monday: Night Games
I was blessed with a mother and father who loved my siblings and me deeply...deeply enough to call us in--or call us out, depending on what was needed. No, I'm not a kid anymore. Life's circumstances have become far more complicated than back in those idyllic days. All the more reason why I am thankful that God's all-prevailing love comes to us...and through us...no matter what we think or do.
Tuesday: Water Ride!
Having someone explain what an experience is like is virtually nothing in comparison to experiencing it ourselves!!! So it is with following Jesus Christ.
Wednesday: Awareness
When Jesus speaks of denying ourselves, might he be saying that we are to deny our ego-centricity...and that we learn to do this through the awareness that comes to life in us through following him?
Thursday: Missing the Point
Because we grossly underestimate God's meaning of "being," we reduce our existence to the level of valuing ourselves and each other on the basis of doing. In other words, our greatest sin is that we diminish ourselves and each other.
Friday: All Consuming Ego
Gracious God,
Help us to become more aware of our egos and their power in our lives and relationships. Help us to love the "things" that will add life rather than the ones that make promises they can't deliver. Most of all, thank you for creating us with the potential for true awareness and the freedom to make life-transforming choices. Amen.
