Every person who loves another person participates in and emulates the love of God, the love that is God’s existence.

The Holy Spirit doesn’t follow our plans.
In Acts 16, Paul really wanted to go to Bithynia but the Spirit prevented him. His plan made sense and seemed the way to go. But what the Spirit leads us to is often beyond what we could even imagine. We tend to work with what is. The Spirit creates out of nothing.

I noticed in the Mark lectionary reading for today that the scribes accused Jesus of performing healings by the power of Beelzebul (“lord of flies”), but in response, Jesus said, “if Satan (“the accuser”) casts out Satan…”

Quite an efficient way of telling them that what they were saying was illogical and also that making accusations is what the enemy is most known for. They were literally doing what they were accusing Jesus of doing.

We see this phenomenon at work in our day when people recklessly cast around accusations and thereby tell on themselves how they think and operate, all while doing the work of The Accuser.

Casting accusations is easy. Taking responsibility is hard, and that’s the work of the kingdom.

Go to the Limits of Your Longing

Listen
God speaks to each of us as God makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.

These are the words we dimly hear:

You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.

Flare up like a flame
and make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don’t let yourself lose me.

Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.

Give me your hand.

[Written by Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated and read by Joanna Macy]

You will hear a lot of well meaning Christian allies say that Jesus never said anything about q***r people. And that’s almost true. But there was this one time, when Jesus said that some people are just born q***r, while sometimes life makes you q***r, and then other times your q***rness is a CALLING FROM GOD to make the world more like how God wants it to be. everyone. Q***r on!
