God began the work of love made manifest through all of creation. We are given the task of continuing that work through the living of our lives. We are the continuance of the message of love. We are the carriers of light and love and it is our mission to embody this fully so that the world may bear witness to the power of love. It is no small task, but we can be heartened by the fact that it is built within us. We do not need to go outside of ourselves to find this purpose. It is in our DNA. We were designed by love, for love, in love to be love. So how is it that we often don’t feel connected to this purpose? We get lost sometimes in this world and allow other things to take precedence. It happens so easily and so elusive sometimes that it isn’t until we are way off the path that we notice. But it is in the noticing that we take the first step towards returning to the path of love which we are and were created. The world will tell us to beat ourselves up for not noticing sooner or “wasting” time. God, however (like the father of the prodigal son) will rejoice that we have come home and throw us a party. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to notice the areas of our lives where we have not continued on the path of love and ask God for the willingness to step back on the path. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
Be With Continuance!
