Love in Action

Following the Great Fifty Days, the Easter celebration of Christ's destruction of our old enemy, Death, and reconciling human beings with God, Jesus promises to be not only with us but for us every moment of every day.

Our challenge now is to move from proclamation to action. Our message is not complex. We are all God’s children. Love created us, nourishes us and heals the wounds we inflict on others and ourselves. The God of abundance has given us everything we need to have a life that overflows with blessing upon blessing. The challenge is for us to embody, to live into this message. Our challenge is to let the Holy Spirit loose in our hearts and move us to acts of greater love and sacrifice for our neighbors near and far.

So go forth into the world. Bring a meal to someone just out of the hospital. Feed a child, who needs summer food. Work in the food pantry or soup kitchen. Clean out your closet and donate your clothes to the Opportunity Shoppe in Windsor. Smile, wave and bring a smile to someone else’s face. BE a blessing to a new person this day. Our Christianity must be more than insurance against hellfire and brimstone. It is the door to a life filled with love, joy, peace, kindness, and graciousness. Go forth as love in action in our world. If our God is with us, who can stand against us?!

Bring forth the Kingdom of Justice, Peace & Love!
