Morning: Psalm 120, 121, 122, 123; Nahum 1:1-13; I Peter 1:13-25
Life
belongs to children, says Jesus. Children don’t even think about life;
they enjoy it. Yet young men can become so weighed down by their need
to possess things that they lose the freedom to enjoy them. Life, which
already was theirs when they were children, slips through their
fingers. They think that owning things, more than enjoying and sharing
them, will make them fully alive. We humans do this with land, with
Mother Earth, with all precious things – art, nature, animals, and even
other people. We’re mistaken. Jesus says … Let go of grasping; then
you’ll really be living.
