ponderings

Isn't it incredible that we are able to experience the love of Christ, without ever being able to fully understand it (at least not while we're on earth)? God himself is  beyond human description in his love, care, comfort. He truly is a loving, forgiving and just Father. Moreover His people never ceases to amaze me. someone gets sick, and people by the hundreds join in prayer for the whole family as well as providing food, a cuddle or even an ear willing to listen.

"So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
- John 13:34-35

isn't this the ultimate challenge? To love one another despite (and because) our flaws and brokenness?
while living in a broken world full of tears, fights, hatred, judgement and confusion, wouldn't it do some good if we lived as the lights we are called to be and pointed to God by the love we have for one another?

Just a thought
