6:27
Do not work for the food that perishes, but for
the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
Soul food
Eternity kisses the
soul in moments when love floods our inmost being. Surety fills heart and mind
as we know the One who made us living within, filling us.
This is eternal life, the
life of eternity … now.
We cannot give
ourselves this life of joy and hope. It comes as a gift Jesus is pleased to give as we draw near and feast on his words, as we open our hands to receive
the blessed sacrament of his body and blood, as we pray knowing our hearts are
heard, and as we live the love he awakens in our souls.
His singular invitation
is for us to know him, know the truth and the life in his words and actions. In
knowing Jesus, the life he is awakens in us, filling us with the wonder of the divine
life in him.
Seek this every new day. Set aside time to listen
to him, to imagine him as he speaks and walks among his disciples and as he
reaches out in compassion for the broken.
Do not let the busyness
of life distract you from seeking what your heart most needs. For what we most
need is to know him.
Simply sit and imagine
his face looking at you, his eyes filled with desire to give you everything
that is in him. Such is his desire, his love for you.
Find your private
space, your holy place and just be with him. He will give you food that endures.
Pr. David L. Miller
