Carried by Love ... where you do not want to go

Morning: Psalms 148, 149, 150; Daniel 4:1-18; I Peter 4:7-11

Evening: Psalms 114, 115; John 21:15-25

Our society is rights-conscious ... I will not do what I choose not to do. While this is a valuable human principle, it ignores the fact that many desirable human paths are ones we might prefer not to take. It is our right to resist, right? But Jesus says to Peter: “When you were young, you used to ... walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, ... another will ... carry you where you do not want to go.” Young or old, can I allow myself to be carried by Love beyond my need to assert my rights?
