To do what I came here for, and not to fear

Morning: Psalm 71; Ecclesiastes 11:1-18; 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
Evening: Psalm 74; Luke 19:28-40

What do you believe you’re here for?  Here on this earth, I mean.  Jesus’s purpose seemed clear to him ... he was going to Jerusalem, to stand before the powers that dominated his people, both spiritually and politically.  John O’Donohue must have yearned for Jesus’s clarity of mind and heart when he wrote: “May I have the courage today to live the life that I would love, to postpone my dream no longer but do at last what I came here for and waste my heart on fear no more.”  Pray for such a focused and fearless life!
