Aware of What God Makes Possible

And you shall love

   the Lord your God

with all your heart,

and with all your soul,

and with all your mind,

and with all your strength.

The second is this:

You shall love your neighbor

              as yourself.

There is no other commandment

      greater than these.

               Mark 12. 30-31

(What is our overriding agenda

         for this very day?

Of all the significant things

     we urgently need to do,

that which is needful

                   and profound

   is to love God and others

           with a whole heart.

It covers everything.

And answers not just what,

but how, why, where and when.

Our circumstances

    are neither an interruption,

    nor a pothole,

              nor deadend,

but a divine appointment

     on holy ground.

How differently would we go forth

     if we equipped ourselves

              into this day

     with those commandments?)

O LORD,

We love You.

Please help us to be faithful

    in expressing our love

by loving those around us,

those we know,

those we have not even met,

divine windows,

sacred encounters,

and holy moments in disguise.

Grant us the courage

       and strength

to make Your love known.

Nudge us, if necessary,

   to be aware of what

       You make possible.
