1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
As a pastor it is my responsibility to watch the news. How
can I work to bring the Gospel and the love of God into the world and add my
prayers to those who need them if I don’t know what is going on? And yet, sometimes the meanness depicted day
after day gets to me. Why do people
think that shooting someone is the solution to disagreements? Where did the
love and value of all life go?
Thankfully it is still there and we can find it in the simple and
profound. Love is the neonatal nurse who cares for each child as if it where
her own. Love is the dog who leads the
blind horse to pasture. Love is the person who stops to move a turtle out of
the road. Love is the child picking dandelions to make a bouquet for his
mother. Love is the driving force behind Hapeville Paint the Town. In fact many of the wonderful things
happening in Hapeville are growing out of folks’ love of their community. Love is meals delivered, the good morning kiss,
hymns of praise and the comforting embrace.
Let’s all be an instrument of love today!
Loving God, we who are created in your image have the power
to love other as you love us. Help us in
that effort as we pray for your continued guidance and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Happy Monday!
