Jeremiah 31:8-9

See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor, together; a great company, they shall return here. With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I will lead them back, I will let them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble; for I have become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Ever-searching Love

The sweetest tears are those of coming home to who you are and where you belong.

We are treasured children of a Great Love who never stops searching for us in all the places we lose ourselves and forget who we are.

We spend days, years, even decades lost in a world of busy demands that crowd our minds, pushing and pulling us to be something or someone other than our truest selves.

Meeting the demands of the day, we forget and fail to pause and drink from the depths of that stream of living water that makes our hearts new, a stream that never runs dry.

But we are never fully lost, for the Great Love God is never stops searching for us in all the places we lose ourselves.

God is the ever-searching love who never stops, never gives up, never turns away, finding us along our wayward paths, gathering the beloved into a community of souls where one love is known and shared, where one love fills every heart, overcoming every division and imbuing every relationship.

There is no difference or division from Old Testament to the New. Our loving God has always been about one thing, creating a community of Great Love where we know who we are and where we belong.

Job 38:1, 4-7

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?

Join the song

Autumnal glory explodes across the western sky as an October sun sinks low, brilliant and burnt orange painting the horizon and reaching high to touch eternity in a final hallelujah for the light of the day that was … and the promise of the new one yet to be.

And I am alive to see and praise the Maker of the light beyond and within me, who graces my soul with the capacity for wonder and love. For it is love I know within and beyond the beauty of this Friday moment, a largeness and smallness, too.

For my heart is enlarged to embrace the wonder and grace of being alive and able to feel beauty and love that lifts me beyond words. And I am small, wonderfully small, struck dumb by the wonder of existence. Why should I be? Why should anything be … let alone …this?

Science tells me it took nearly 15 billion years to produce the glory of this speechless moment when the heavens declare the glory of the Loving Mystery whose breath gives me life. Fifteen billion.

But every moment was worth it. Every moment held within the promise of what my eye beholds and my hearts knows.

And it is love … no, Love, I know as my heart joins the song of the stars, the joy of those who know.

Mark 10:43-45

Whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

What for?

It is for freedom that we live, to live free … and to set others free from whatever enslaves them. This is the divine purpose which Jesus lived every day.

Every morning he woke knowing his holy purpose, the mission assigned to him by the Loving Mystery he knew as ‘Father.’ And he didn’t forget this, ever. It was always at the forefront of his mind: I exist to release the bodies and souls of those for whom I am sent.

To know Jesus is to know the freedom of heart he gives as we enter the circle of his love, into the communion of those who know a Love like no other.

To follow him is to give the gift that is uniquely yours to give, to offer the service and sacrifice that releases the heart and empowers possibilities of another soul whom God so loves.  

The daily question for followers of the way is, ‘Who and what am I for, today? Who will enter a more fulsome and joyous life because of what I do and say? How can I set one human heart free … today?’

You exist to set hearts free with the Love who is in you. This is your greatness, the most noble of vocations.

John 4:13-15

Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’ The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty.

Full hearts

There truly is no end to thirst in this life. None. Desire never ends. It is always there at the base of every other wanting in our lives.

This is who we are. We are created by Infinite Love, fashioned in the image of Love Unlimited. Just so, we thirst for Infinite Love, longing for union to know … to feel … to bask in … and savor the sweet smile of the Love who is beyond all others.

And wonder of wonders, it happens. Moments arrive when we know our souls being bathed in the Love who is and was and ever will be.

It is then and only then that the wanting ends, but only for the time of knowing, only for the moment when the heart is totally full of Love, leaving no room for desire. There is only the knowing.

Who knew this could be? Who knew the soul’s endless craving could ever find satisfaction in Infinite Love? And who can predict the exquisite moments when graced awareness overwhelms us with the Love who is always there for us, the Love who never ceases wanting us.

Give me this water, asked a woman by a well as she listened to the stranger who stopped by to quench his thirst. She speaks for all of us: Give us the water that quenches the unrelenting thirst to know Infinite Love.

Give it today. Give it now. And give it always. For our thirst, however satisfied in this moment, always returns and will return, Holy One, because the ache within us is the echo in our soul of your desire for us.

You desire that we should drink of the Love you are … and find rest for our souls until we rest fully and forever in you. Full hearts, at last.

Matthew 5:43-45, 48

‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous…. Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Imitating the inimitable

Embrace today. Open your heart, welcome the day and everything it brings.

The Holy One embraces every moment, every person, every event, even those events where evil seems triumphant, wreaking havoc on the goodness of life and creation. Nothing is left out. God is wholehearted, the Love who surrounds every moment of life, every life that is and every molecule of creation.

I sit in quiet on my morning bench by Feather Sound, coffee in hand, eyes on the reeds and cattails at water’s edge. And I breathe, awakening a Love that lives within, a Love for everything that is and which evaporates every anxiety and stills every desire.

In the moment, awareness arises that this Love surrounds and encompasses the whole of … everything, all that is. Everything is inside God. I see and know it with eyes of the heart, a gift of graced awareness.  

And for a moment, I, too, am wholehearted, perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect, loving the world … and myself … despite the multitude of imperfections in both, imitating the inimitable.

Many things happen to us and in our fractured world that are not appointed by God nor do they come from God. Evil exists, and all of us resist the Love that is the energy of God that holds the world together.

But even evil moments happen inside God, inside the Encompassing Presence who holds all things and who seeks to be known in all things.

So embrace today, wholeheartedly, whatever comes. This is another day lived inside a Love more immense than you can imagine.

Matthew 5:14-16

‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Let it shine

There is a light in each of us that never goes out.

But the light, so often, gets buried beneath details of the daily. We lose track of it, confused and distracted by our long-held ideas and images about who we are … or should be … or what others expect of us.

Our frustrations and angers also close our conscious minds from awareness of the Eternal Flame of Love that burns silently within.

We forget and lose awareness of our central truth: We are that light, each of us an enduring flame, steady and sure, however hidden the light may become in the whirlwind of living. It is always there.

This enduring flame is God’s presence, divine light within us, our true self.

Moments comes, with laughter and tears, when we become aware of this all-embracing, ever-enduring Love living in and passing through us.

Nature brings such awareness, the sun through autumn trees, light on the water. Meditation does, too, sinking into the silence of your heart and feeling Love rising from within and realizing this mysterious Love is both within and surrounding you … and everything, holding all that is.

God is never separate from us, not ever.

The Loving Mystery is right here, the Eternal Flame of Love that warms us through when our minds sink into our hearts to discover the Love we truly want and need is always there, within.

The flame burns, growing brighter, stronger, more pure and clear with each expression of joy and love … given and received.  

So be who you are today. Let the light, the Love within, shine from your eyes and heart … and illumine the world.

Galatians 5:22-24

By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

The place of knowing

Peace and goodness, joy and love come from within, from the living Spirit who is our inmost nature. There is nothing outside ourselves that can quell the anger or restlessness that agitates and sets us on edge.

We must descend into the depth of our souls, delving beneath the surface noise of stress and ego to find within a quiet center, a place of knowing such Love as no external source, success, respect or victory can give.

For there lives the Spirit within. This is our birthright, a gift given in our very creation. Our minds descending into the depth of our soul, we arrive at a place where Love lives, where Spirit breathes, where burns the flame of deepest hope for union with the Loving Source of all Life  

The stresses and promises of life distract, busy our minds with all that doesn’t satisfy, keeping us on the surface of things. Little time is left to grow quiet and attend to the Spirit who dwells at the depth of our spirits. What is leftover we often fill with electronic noise from one device or another.

When all the while the Holy One waits within for us to come home, and know what our hearts most need to know, the Love God is … this Love who is our deepest nature.

Descending into our hearts and finding Love there we come home. Resting there for but a moment, all the goodness of the Spirit of Life flows through our souls with joy—patience, kindness, gentleness, peace.

And we know … with immense gratitude: This is who I am and everything I want to be.

Thank you. Just thank you. That prayer is enough.

Pr. David L. Miller

Matthew 4:17-20

From that time Jesus began to proclaim, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.’ As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

Hoping for heaven

Why did they follow Jesus? Why does anyone follow?

If they knew what was coming, they might have taken a pass on the whole discipleship thing. No one willingly chooses hardship or suffering. No one wants to be around when their teacher and friend is brutally executed. No one wants to live under the same threat. Unless....

Unless your heart aches for something more exquisite and beautiful, hope-filled and joyful than everything you’d ever known or imagined could happen to you. Then ... maybe, you would come along, pulled by the engine of hope.

Hope wakes the heart from slumber, stirring that niggling awareness that there is something better, more alive and life-giving than the life you know, something for which you’d lose everything.

Hope is the desire to know the life of heaven ... here and now.

This is exactly what Jesus promises. The kingdom of heaven is near. It is here, he says. As you follow me, you will know the presence of heaven even amid life’s hardships.

Heaven happens every time Immense Love appears in earthy existence and experience.

An act of mercy, a moment of beauty, the healing power of love, the joy of reconciliation, a simple act of understanding and care, the grace of friendship, a loving celebration of another year of life, the struggle for justice or just another day truly lived well—the rule of God, the life of heaven shines through all of this.

We follow Jesus that we may see and know glimmers of heaven shining through the messiness of our lives and world. We follow that the rays of divine light may shine through us and fulfill hope’s fondest desire.

Matthew 4:8-10

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Away with you, Satan! for it is written, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.” ’

God at the center

The temptations of Jesus are not unusual but common. The most basic is this: to put something other than God at the center of your life.

This isn’t one big decision. It happens through a million seemingly insignificant decisions that allow something to occupy the space in your heart that rightly belongs to God, the Source of your life and breath.

It happens slowly as we allow other concerns to replace knowing and loving God at the center of our life. Work or success or our bank account or personal acclaim or looking good or the newest digital gadgets or social acceptance or momentary pleasures or sports or a friendship group or … something eases God to the perimeter of consciousness.

And worship … knowing and loving and serving God … becomes something you do instead of the being the center of the wheel around which everything else turns, the great truth that guides and gives direction everything you do.

Daniel Berrigan, a wiser and (slightly) more profane soul than mine, suggested it is easy to see what you worship. It isn’t where your mind is or where your heart is. It is where your ass is.

Where do you habitually go, what commitments define you and which ones are set aside to service others? That tells you what you worship—the thing on which you place highest worth.

Jesus leads our way. He dismisses this most basic temptation, telling us we are to worship God and serve only him. It sounds like a command, a law we must obey. But that is a surface understanding.

It is actually an invitation to know and turn to the Loving Mystery in everything you do and in every place you go. It is an invitation to enjoy the privilege of being with Jesus, loving him and all he loves.

It is an invitation to be what Love is, go where Love goes and do what Love does, a life with Love at the center.

Matthew 3:16-17

And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’

With the beloved

I love to be with people who eagerly open their hands to receive the Eucharist. I relish being near those who love to hear and sing songs of grace and love and hope because something in their hearts require it.

I am lifted by those who share the beauty and joy they find in small things, who bubble with enthusiasm and gratitude for what each day brings. My heart warms when I see the sparkle in the eyes of a those who are truly and fully alive.

This why the church has always meant so much to me.

I could always find people of joy there, of sorrow, too, but there was this love and hope even amid the hard times. At church, I was more likely to run into people who felt truly alive, more alive than I felt; who loved more freely and easily than I loved; who touched and welcomed my touch, hand-to-hand or in a hug that told me my life is embraced regardless of how I felt at the moment.

Where else but in the congregation of the Beloved does this happen?

It is hard to say exactly what charisma flowed through Jesus and excited hearts to draw near him. But perhaps it starts here: He heard the voice of God naming him, “Beloved,” and he never doubted or forgot what he heard, not ever.

The belovedness that filled Jesus flows through anyone who gets close enough to feel what is in him. Get close, listen and your soul lights up as if you just discovered the secret which your soul has always longed to know.

There is no shortage of people, gob smacked by celebrity, who want to be near or just like the famous, powerful or wealthy. Not me. I want to stand among the beloved of the Beloved. I want to know what they know. Today and always.

Luke 2:19-20

But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

The wonder of it all

What do you do when your reality is better than your dreams? How do you respond when what seems impossible happens … to you … and you know and feel what you thought you would never know?

Tears and laughter.

Tears and laughter mingle in one great expression of joy and praise for the gift of being alive, for feeling what you feel, seeing what you see and knowing the elation of being truly blessed, truly alive.

Tears and laughter, the language of soul, overflow in ecstatic praise to God, prayer beyond the capacity of any words.

Tear and laughter flood your entire being with gratitude and love for life … and for the Loving Mystery who is its ever-abundant Source.

We were not at that stable to see Mary cradle her child or hear the excitement of half-dazed shepherds sputtering a tale of angels on the hillside. But we are as human as they. We know moments when the fullness of Love touches and fills us … when the Love God is becomes flesh and blood for us and in us.

Like Mary, we have held a baby in our arms and traced the unblemished curve of a tender cheek amazed at such beauty and innocence. We have been filled with love for the wonder and mystery of life, moved to tears and laughter at the privilege of being part of it all.

We have known moments when gratitude for the simple privilege of being alive stirs us to fall in love with the very imperfect, incomplete life we’ve been given … and with the Unnamable Giver who is constantly beyond our understanding.

We know the ecstasy awakened when Love fills our being, which is to say when God becomes more real than our breath, incarnate and as undeniable as our own flesh.

We know the wonder Mary knew in her pondering, the joy that made shepherds skip across the field, back to their sheep, the exuberance unleashed when we feel and know God incarnate in the flesh, our flesh touched by Infinite Love.

We were born to know this … and to give thanks, in tears and laughter.

Luke 2:7

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

How it happens

We live in a society where individualism runs amok. Everyone and anyone, it seems, can be a star on social media, getting thousands or millions of digital ‘hits,’ which, of course, makes them more significant (at least in their own mind) than those with less … or none.

It is important to stand out, be recognized and ‘followed’ more than others. If this sounds narcissistic, well, it is … very. It is all about me, and there is a lot of that going around today.

But our story, the story of Love’s Incarnation, is entirely contrary to the mood of the day.

The Loving Mystery puts on a human face that we may see and know and be transformed into the beauty that God awakens in us. How does it happen?

Quietly, out in a barn, where no one is watching, where no extra hands are available to help with the birth, where two people, exhausted from their journey must do the best they can … alone, strangers in a town where no one knows their name.

There is no one else present to see the birth of wonder. Immanuel, the Holy One, the Love Beyond All Telling appears here, not on Facebook or YouTube or in a place where at least a few important people might notice.

The child is wrapped in bands of cloth, common adornment of the poor and insignificant.

If there were no other reason for me to be Christian, no other reason for me to fall in love with the God it reveres, this story is enough. For it tells me there is no place God will not go, nowhere God refuses to appear, no corner of life that is left out or forgotten in the divine heart.

It tells me I need go nowhere but exactly where I am to know … truly know … the Love who puts on flesh and seeks me. And it challenges me to embrace my own imperfect life, so small in the great scope of the world and history, as an embodiment of the Loving Mystery who is pleased to dwell in my flesh, my mortal being.

The miracle happens in ordinary human lives, like ours. Exactly where we are. Today.

Matthew 1:20-21

But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus.

Part of the miracle

We are all part of the miracle. Every one of us. We each have a part to play in making Immanuel, God with us. Each of us exercises a role that enables the Incarnation, the enfleshment of the Loving Mystery, to happen and bring the laughter of truest joy to our lips.

Some roles are quiet and small but no less essential to the mystery of God’s dwelling among and in us. Little is said of Joseph, husband of Mary. And he says even less, nothing actually. We never hear his voice.

Believing a nocturnal vision, he takes the risk of becoming the protector and husband of a girl pregnant, under suspicious circumstances, with a child who can never be his. The family will be forced to flee murderous tyranny, becoming refugees in a foreign land soon after the birth of the child, Jesus.

There is nothing flashy about Joseph. He just does his part, brings his wife and child back to his little home town when the threat is past … then disappears. We hear nothing more about him and can only assume he taught young Jesus the tricks and tools of his trade.

He reminds me of so many quiet souls who live and love in their own way. Never calling great (or any) attention to themselves, they live their lives, doing what is needed, giving what is in their mind and heart to their families, towns and neighborhoods, seldom receiving many thanks and never any accolades except when they pass from this life. Then, it seems, we feel the ache of their absence and realize what a difference they have made … and how much love they quietly gave.

They remind me a bit of my father. They are Joseph.

Joseph played his role and because he did we know the saving power of the Love who lived and spoke and touches each of us through Jesus. He helped Immanuel, God with us, to happen.

But he was more. Joseph didn’t only help Immanuel happen. He was Immanuel, too. The Loving Mystery was real and present, speaking in his care and unassuming faithfulness to the task the Lord gave him.

He was part of the miracle. We all are. The miracle happens every time we do our part, living the Love who is in us through the tasks we are given, small and great. Each and every time, Immanuel happens in and through us.

So be as Joseph and let it happen. Today.

Luke 1:34-37

Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’ The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.’ 

Who knows?

A touching and much-loved Advent song asks a poignant question, “Mary did you know?”

Did you know your child is the gift of God’s loving presence? Did you know he would bless, heal and set souls free? Did you know he would experience the heights of joy and the bitterness of hatred? Did you know you would watch him die, executed in excruciating pain?

No, how could she? None of us know where following Jesus will take us.

Jesus calls us to be with him, to share his life and love and to reveal his kingdom in acts of compassion, liberation and justice in the common places of our lives. But we do not know exactly what will come.

We do not know who we will meet or what surprises, pleasant or not, are just around the corner. We do not know whether we will serve him in a life filled with health and vitality or amid the struggle and disease. We do not know if our families and friends will accept our commitment to Jesus and his mission or whether they will think us strange ... or worse.

But we do know this: Jesus invites to stay near him, in prayer and meditation, worship and fellowship that we may know him. He longs for intimate companionship with us that he may generously share all that is him.

Amid all we do not know, we know this. And that’s enough.

Luke 12:32-34

‘Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also

A communion of souls

No one can steal what the heart knows. Everything else can be lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed, but not the Love the heart knows … and to Whom it cleaves.

I see you Jesus. The scene appears clear and clean in the eye of imagination. You turn your head to look at me as you lead us down the road of our lives. “It is the Father’s good pleasure,” you say. It is your pleasure, too. The twinkle in your eye tells me that you know the treasure, the kingdom, so freely given.

The kingdom is not a thing nor even a place, but being with you. It is communion with you and with all whom you draw into the circle of hunger and knowing around you.

It is a circle of hunger … for we long to be home where we are fully welcome and wanted, where our restless hearts release life’s burdens and our souls breathe free.  And a circle of knowing … for when we are with you we know you are our home, the souls you gather are our true family, our soul mates.

The kingdom is a communion of souls gathered by the Love you are.

Gathering us into this communion makes you smile. It brings you pleasure. Your eyes sparkle with joy at the gift you give us.

I see your pleasure, Holy One. I feel it, and in feeling it I know you … and I know what you want for me, for us all—a treasure that is now and forever.

So I will follow you and try to do what you want me to do, so that I may know you … in that smile.

Luke 5:27-32

After this he went out and saw a tax-collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he got up, left everything, and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax-collectors and others sitting at the table with them. The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, ‘Why do you eat and drink with tax-collectors and sinners?’ Jesus answered, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance.’

Know what I know

I want you. It is exactly this simple. I … want … you.

This is what Jesus means when he says, “Follow me.”

Don’t tell me your life is a mess. Lose the self-denigrating evaluations about why you are not good enough, ‘religious’ enough or talented enough. Forget the nonsense that there is little you know how to do or can do.

Jesus doesn’t want to hear any of it. He wants you, just like he wanted Levi, this tax collecting shyster who, like others of his time and trade, collaborated with a foreign power and charged more than he should, keeping the extra for himself.

All this would seem to exclude him from the company of a rabbi who called people to open their eyes to see and their hearts to feel the presence of God breaking into their lives.

It surprised Levi, who was likely shocked out of his shorts by Jesus’ invitation to come with him. It certainly alarmed those who believed a real spiritual teacher would have nothing to do with such an unsavory character.

Didn’t matter. Jesus still invited him along for the ride just as he invites you.

Listen to his voice: I want you. I want you to walk alongside me, to learn from me, to live the way I live, to love the things I love, to share the bread I eat and to know what I know in my heart. I want you to see and share the joy of doing what I do.

For when we do, when we follow him, when we bless as he blesses, when we share as he shares, joy soon follows, the joy of knowing the Love he is.

Pr. David L. Miller
