Approaching life as a series of lessons and trainings allows me to have a bit more understanding and compassion for myself and others. I believe God invites us to learn from every situation we encounter. It is isn’t about a right or wrong way to do something but noticing what works to promote love in our lives and what does not. What engenders compassion for ourselves and others and what does not? What encourages us to grow past our understanding of how things are supposed to be and explore more possibilities? Sparring is a form of training of our minds and hearts which keeps us open to the chance to mess up and not be a mess up. It reminds me there is nothing I can say or do that can undo God or undo God’s presence in my heart or another persons.
My prayer for us is the courage to do some sparring in life and encode more possibilities of love in the chambers of our hearts today.
