Daily Meditation: Witnesses of Love

Witnesses of Love - from Henri Nouwen's Bread for the Journey How do we know that we are infinitely loved by God when our immediate surroundings keep telling us that we'd better prove our right to exist? The knowledge of being loved in an unconditional way, before the world presents us with its conditions, cannot come from books, lectures, television programs, or workshops.  This spiritual knowledge comes from people who witness to God's love for us through their words and deeds.  These people can be close to us but they can also live far away or may even have lived long ago.  Their witness announces the truth of God's love and calls us to act in accordance with it.   For further reflection ... "I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints." - Philemon 4 Comment on this Daily Meditation. Summer book discussion on "Finding My Way Home" starts June 28th.
