God says, “I tell of some who know Me in Egypt and Babylon; behold, My people are in Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia too.” Psalm 87:4
I have felt weighted down for several days, with what I hope is a holy repentance or sorrow for the Church (and not mere mood swings), over our lack of understanding of Who God Is and Where is His Heart. I sense Jesus looking over at us sadly and echoing His admonishment of so many years ago to one He loved, “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
His vision is so broad, so big, so beyond our frame of reference and yet so very focused. One does not think of Him as being distracted, and yet He holds the universe in His cupped hands. Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love.
