+ When we hold a banquet, the Lord instructs us to
invite those with the “inability to repay you.”
For we need to experience a
love that is not self-serving;
we need to love without
expecting some gain in return.
The “solace in love” we hope
to have through our “participation in the Spirit, is predicated on such
gratuity.
This, of course, opens wide the
possibilities – the greater majority we will minister to today will have no
means of “financial” or “material” recompense for us – but we can ask them to
pray for us and our intentions – and be assured that heaven will shower down
abundant blessing both on us and the one praying for us.
What a marvelous dynamic and
living system the Holy Spirit has set in place!
We revel in its reality and
power for good.
In
you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
