Thoughts on my morning reading and meditation - Mark 1:29-45
This is a beautiful telling of the heart of Jesus. Jesus loves people. He loves when there is no guarantee of reciprocation, respect or compliance. He loves when people push boundaries, impose expectations and force demands. Jesus loves. With a heart of love and a focused intent, Jesus set quiet boundaries. He shared his heart intent and purpose, in part, with those close to him. Jesus spent time in quiet communion - away from the Noise Needs Expectations Demands Misconceptions Illusions He spent time quietly communicating with His Father Your Father My Father Jesus knew his Father, he knew himself, he understood his purpose and he maintained focus - he set boundaries to balance and govern the demands, expectations and illusions held by others. Jesus loved his Father, he loved people and he stayed true to his course to offer eternal life to the people he loved, to the people he loves still today. Lord Jesus, help us attain clarity and assuredness of your identity and our identity in you. Quiet our hearts to hear your sweet voice speaking and, too, quiet our hearts to the noise and clamor that distracts us from our purpose and from abiding in your amazing love for us. Amen

AuthorWhen my college Professor asked each of us students to share our favorite read with the rest of the English class, I responded, "the Bible.” I love that I can find in the Bible poetry, drama, history, psychology, analogies, inspiration, prophecy, metaphors, prose, love stories, adventure, politics, anthropology, songs, advice, a higher sense of value toward others and even myself and the way of salvation for all. The Bible is exciting, a wealth of knowledge, a comfort. And I hope the things I share in my blog entries inspire your love for God's word too. Archives
