God created the world out of love. God sent Jesus to us sorry creatures out of love. Jesus went to all the suffering places....our bodies, our minds, our hearts, our communities, our relationships...because that is what love does. Where there is suffering, love goes there. Where there is injustice, love goes there. Where children are being abused, love goes there. Stands there, alongside the suffering, just as Jesus stands alongside of us. Jesus' love scoops us up, carries us through dangerous waters, and leads us into new life.
Now what do we do with all this, we who claim to follow Jesus, are we walking into the suffering places with the love of Jesus? Are we telling others how this love of Jesus works in our lives? Are we inviting others to taste and see the glory of life in God?
It's our turn now. Where are you taking the love of God today?
