God’s Dream … the Mystery of the Ways of Love

Morning: Psalms 93, 96; Genesis 24:50-67; 2 Timothy 2:14-21
Evening: Psalm 34; Mark 10:13-22

Heaven. Eternal Life. The Kingdom of God. Life in the Age. Salvation. The Bible uses many phrases to speak about an inexplicable Mystery. People wonder what they must do to find it. Modern gurus and spiritual guides call it satisfaction, happiness, fulfillment, wholeness, healing, a purpose-driven life. These are versions of God’s dream for humankind, a Mystery which we cannot achieve by our own efforts. Instead, we need the receptiveness of a child, the readiness to let go of our attachments so that we can follow in the Ways of Love through which Jesus reveals the Mystery.
