The Wonder of the Cross – Day 31 – Better Than Life
When we finally learn that indeed, ‘your steadfast love is better than life’, the only thing we can do is praise and dance and sing.

A name, place, person, or something seen or heard or read flashes for one second across the mind. It can be lost or turned to prayer; the choice is with us.
…if we can’t worship with the rest of the Body of Christ we will worship where we are because the Spirit of God is not imprisoned in the sanctuary of a cathedral or the pulpit of a chapel.
…the way we must look on the sins and weaknesses of others, not condoning (Moses did not condone), but with eyes of uttermost love.
You are King of all creation they’ll say.
One day
it is not strange that tempers should be uncertain when appetites are undisciplined.
Are we faithful in our tithes? Are we loving in our offerings?

…the faithful should not flinch when named as tree-huggers and Net-Zeroniks. This is our calling. We care for the creation because we know it reflects the Creator. And if we care enough for trees and bugs and flowers and streams we may even learn to care for each other….
All powers, all possessions are His. Why should He want anything that we can give?
