‘When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the
crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because
they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the
righteous.’ (Luke
12:13-14)
May your soul be large,
spacious, with a place for every life you meet. Blessing lies hidden behind
the eyes of every single soul you encounter. So welcome each one into the
circle of your heart.
Isn’t this what you
tell us, Jesus?
You invited the poor
into your soul, the sick and broken, the fearful and those made lame, injured
in heart and limb by the inevitable bruises that come to every life.
This is how you lived. Your
soul was large, immense. There was and still is room for each of us. You welcomed
the souls of those you met that each might commune with the wonder of your
heart and mind.
You drew human hearts into
the circle of your presence that they might shine in the warmth of divine love embracing
them whole, no matter that they be poor, lame or broken by life.
Enlarge the circle,
this was your mission … and the charge you give to us. Make it bigger. Release
the love in you. Let it flow and embrace the world. Look upon everything you
see and everyone you meet and know it is there for you to love.
Sit in the circle of
Jesus’ blessed presence until warmth stirs within and overflows the cup of your
soul.
Your heart will grow
large, spacious and free, and you will know … the Love he is.
Pr. David L. Miller
