Inspired speech, or great deeds, or sacrificial acts without love are of no use, says St. Paul. But when these things are done in love … then there’s magic! The opposite of ‘without’ is ‘within’ or ‘in’. You do not have love; love is something you’re in,
like an atmosphere, or an ocean. We cannot gather up Love so as to
have lots to give away. We can only step into Love and let it change
us. To give Love, we must first receive it, and embrace it; then,
loving is like breathing, like being fully alive.
Daily readings, thoughts from Graham. Pilgrims on the Way to the shrine of the apostle James in Spain shout a greeting to one another: “Ultreya!”; "Keep going", "Press on", “Onward”.
