Rejoice!

Morning: Psalms 63, 98; Amos 9:11–15; 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, 13–17
Evening: Psalm 103; Isaiah 32:1-18; John 5:30–47

Today is ‘Gaudete Sunday’, day of Rejoicing. Joy means serving a purpose bigger than yourself. It may take a shock – shame or guilt, failure or weakness – to help you realize your vision has become self-centred. Yet when you allow your narrow priorities to give way to collaboration with others in the well-being of the Cosmos, Joy opens up! You discover that Life’s purpose is the restoration of the Creation by Love, and the renewal of all things by Compassion … and that your own life’s goal is to serve this greater purpose with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
