GOD WILL LIVE IN US
Enter into the stillness of God within.
Reading. “No one has ever seen God; but as long
as we love one another God will live in us and his love will be complete in us.” (1 John 4:11-18)
Reflection. We are in Epiphany mode. All our readings are about the revelation of
God among us. We can be fascinated by
our relationship with God while at the same time ignoring the world around us. I suppose this is the number one heresy. John is insistent; there is no such thing as
love of God if we do not get out of ourselves and break down the barriers
between us. There are people I enjoy
being with. There are others I would be
happy to avoid. The overflowing message
of the revelation of God in the Christmas season is his love for us. He has come to “gather” us – all of us - who
are scattered. We live our love by “gathering” others in a multitude of
different ways.
Prayer. Lord,
help us to love one another as you have loved us. Amen.
