This joy is enough

He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts. (Mark 6:7-8)

This joy is enough

Jesus does not send us into mission alone. We walk together with those whose hearts are touched by the Love we know in him. We can look at them and see in their eyes that they know what we know, the freedom only immeasurable divine love can give.

The joyous company of those who know … and in knowing want to know more and more of this inexpressible grace … yes, this is enough to carry us through our lives. It binds us as one, lifting us when we are burdened and joining us heart-to-heart in our joys and in all the years may bring.

The authority Jesus gives us is the power of divine love to cast out demons of sadness and despair, guilt and shame, hatred and bitterness.

This Love is in us. It lives in our hearts and hands. It shines in our eyes and faces as we live and bless. 

It frees us to live beyond the fears of what comes next and what shall we do and will I be accepted and will we have enough.

For we have enough. All those questions have been answered.

We have the unimaginable wonder of the One who is Love living in us, and this always enough.

Pr. David L. Miller
