Evening: Psalm 74; Luke 8:26-39
Yesterday, we moved to a new home. I feel a bit like a stranger in my own land again, even though we’re just down the street. Then I read a wonderful law in the book of Leviticus: “The alien ... shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself.” I thought ... we settlers were all aliens here once in the eyes of indigenous peoples. And unfortunately, we have not always loved the indigenous peoples with whom we settled. Love is still able, though, to make us no longer aliens to one another.
