He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.
Be
large
Come into a larger world. See it. Feel it.
Let it full your heart. It is right there ... where you are.
The world of Jesus is the community of
love, the kingdom of God revealed in his every touch and healing, every time he
blesses the broken, in his invitation to see every moment as a gift and every
human soul as God’s beloved.
Give yourself to this, he says. Set aside
your narrow ego, step beyond what it good only for you and seek this world of
communal grace. Enter the struggle of living the truth of this world, and you
will find yourself.
You will discover your truest heart and
the love you were created to know and live. You will find the joy of hearts
more beautiful and alive than any you have ever known.
And you will know me, your highest joy.
Life is not getting what you think you
want or achieving the goal you imagine will make you important ... or happy.
You were made for this larger world where
the Love breaks every boundary and makes your heart as wide as the sky.
Anything less is beneath you.
You are Love’s precious child.
Pr.
David L. Miller
