Our Weekly Meditation
From Sylvia DeGooyer (Far & Near)
Update on the news about the fires on Maui and Hawai’i Island:
The Church of the Holy Innocents in Lāhainā, Maui, along with much of the historic part of the town, is burnt. My spouse [Bruce] is the vicar there. May members have a healthy grieving process while holding onto hope, and may each of us remember that we are more than any title, role, or possessions we hold in our heart. Each of us is a much-loved child of God.
Let Your God Love You
by Edwina Gately
Be silent.
Be still.
Alone.
Empty
Before your God.
Say nothing.
Ask nothing.
Be silent.
Be still.
Let your God look upon you.
That is all.
God knows.
God understands.
God loves you
With an enormous love,
And only wants
To look upon you
With that love.
Quiet.
Still.
Be.
Let your God—
Love you.
