Evening: Psalm 74; Mark 8:27-9:1
Under what circumstances do people say things like: ‘I have given my whole life to this ...”? Nearly always it’s about a valuable, noble or good endeavour. This good purpose added value to the life’s energy that they sacrificed. This is what Jesus means when he says, “Those who lose their life for my sake ... will save it.” You find yourself by losing yourself for Love’s sake. Love makes sure that you end up with more than you gave away. Love given is Love multiplied. This is the unconventional, irrational, amazing Arithmetic of Love ... 1-1>1Daily readings, thoughts from Graham. Pilgrims on the Way to the shrine of the apostle James in Spain shout a greeting to one another: “Ultreya!”; "Keep going", "Press on", “Onward”.
