Sunday: Lift Up
To be lifted up is to be drawn into the love of God. Jesus drew all kinds of people to him during his short tenure on earth, drawing no boundaries for who was invited into that love. As his hour to die drew nearer, he spread the message that all things would be enveloped in his love even after he was gone.
“And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
— John 12: 32-33
Reflection: What uplifting message will you leave?
Prayer: Radically inclusive God, you offer each one of us a life-changing love that leaves no one out. Sometimes I wonder about acceptance so much that I struggle to rise up and claim your love for me. In this moment of quiet, I listen carefully for what’s up.
