One usually went to a temple to "find" God,
or a sacred place, like a church -
and through a "liturgical" experience one's faith would grow
like an olive tree...
The Incarnation brought God amongst us,
and God adopted us,
such that we can also experience God everywhere,
and through everyone,
for God is not confined to place or space
no matter how "sacred" that place may be
(Hebrews 2:14-18).
Now it is our turn to give God to others -
not in a place, but through our very selves.
Hence today's Password:
Let’s give God through our life.
Firstly, we are those "messengers"
preparing the way for others to experience God
(Malachi 3:1-4).
Let’s give God through our life.
Secondly, it will cost us:
there will be a shared suffering with the Incarnate Word
(Hebrews 2:14-18);
and there will be a shared suffering
with the one who brought Him into the world, (Luke 2:22-40),
when we "bring Christ" into our world
each we time we live the Password:
Let’s give God through our life.
Who would count the price or value the suffering
when it is actually God-amongst-us we are bringing
into our world so in need of rescue?
Let’s give God through our life.
Stay blessed.
