Story of the Day
We were on a journey to somewhere and nowhere. We were on a journey of faith and hope and trust. As we looked forward we could not see the ending. We could not fathom an arrival destination. Time was endless, space was endless, dimension was infinite. We couldn't understand what was happening, where we were going, or what we were doing. We were called by something greater than ourselves to a journey to someplace we couldn't even understand. Love propelled us along this journey to somewhere and nowhere. Love lead us along the way in action and purpose. But we couldn't understand what was happening. We knew that somehow and for some reason we could place all of our trust and hope in this Love that propelled and lead us along. As we placed our trust and hope in this Love, we found that we began to live outside and beyond ourselves. We found that the Love that propelled us along our journey lived in us and we lived and existed in this Love. In our journey, propelled by Love, a spirit of discipleship was stirred to action and we began to take on the characteristics of the very Power that propelled us. None of this made much sense to us. But we continued on the journey, faithful to the Love that continued to propel us. We found that the Love that propelled us had all the purpose and meaning we would ever need. We found that the Love that directed and taught us could be completely trusted. We gave our very beings, our very existence, our eternal time in response to this Love. Our destination was in the hands of this Love that propelled us along the journey. And this was eternally and infinitely more than we would ever need. We were on a journey to somewhere and nowhere. We were fulfilled and propelled and obedient to Love. And that's all we would ever need.
Prayer of the Day
Lord of Life, Lord of Love, propel us along this eternal, infinite journey only You can understand. Teach obedience, transformation, and Love to us along the way. Make us into Your desire. Take us to Your destination. Call us Your disciples in Love and action, today and forever. ---Amen
