ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHING
October 23, 2021
How often do we have the opportunity to say, “I love you.” How often do we have the chance to reveal love to someone? How often does someone walk away from an interaction with us feeling loved? I went through a period of my life, a sort of spiritual practice, where I asked myself these questions every evening. At first, I felt guilty as there were missed opportunities that I could name. But in time, the guilt moved to motivation and there was more awareness during the day. At the end of 1st Corinthians 2, Paul spoke of his readers having the mind of Christ. He was not describing a brain transplant, but a transplant of awareness or attitude… taking on the likeness of the Christ-life. Jesus recognized needs and opportunities others missed, and equally important, he acted upon those. What are you doing to create more Christ-like awareness in your own life?

Holy Spirit, continue to grow within me a Christ-like attitude so Christ-like love is experienced by more and more people. Amen.
