What God is like matters to me

Morning: Psalms 61, 62; Genesis 21:1-21; Hebrews 11:13-22
Evening: Psalm 68; John 6:41-51

The Gospel story - Jesus dying in opposition to unjust power - invites me to believe that there is a God who is compassionate, alongside us in our struggles to build a world of justice and peace.  This is bread for me;  it satisfies my hunger ... this wild and wonderful thought that we are not alone, and that we are called to make sure no one else is alone either.  Compassion is not a bad guide for a life.  I’ll go with it, as best I can.
