Evening: Psalms 128, 129, 130; Obadiah 15-21; Luke 19:1-10
The garden of my childhood home had a sycamore tree, with enormous leaves, smooth bark and easy-to-climb branches. I loved the view from up there. When I learned the Zacchaeus song (‘he climbed up into a sycamore tree’), I could relate. Then, when Jesus called Zacchaeus down and invited himself for tea, I felt good. Jesus welcomed and embraced everyone, whatever their life was like. Jesus’s welcome changed Zacchaeus’s life. It changed my life too ... every time I chose to welcome Jesus in return. When someone loves you, you usually love them back. And love changes everything.
