Only feasting on God will keep us going in bringing his love
and truth to a needy world. When all is
dying, we need to see the living God.
When all is sad, we need to see the joyous God. We need to look away from ourselves and look toward his glory. Then, as we admire the
excellence of his being, from afar as it seems, we need to hear the good news
afresh that he has come near to us to share this eternal, glorious, divine life
with us! We can look at the payment in
precious filial blood to be reassured that this utterly unexpected miracle is
true. By faith we know glimpses
of that shared Trinitarian life now, in this life, and by hope we look
forward to the fullness of the kingdom when Jesus returns. It is only in this knowledge that we can love
God and each other in this meantime called human history, called 'everyday life'.
