Tuesday
Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater…
Isaiah
55:10
Tuesday
Prayer
Jesus, you gave so much of yourself and yet you invite me to
ask for even more. Though I did nothing
to deserve it, you freely gave your life up for me on the cross. Lord, show me how to freely give more of
myself to my family. As I carry the
crosses of family, fill me with your Spirit of giving. When my family knocks, let me answer. When my
family asks, let me give. Amen.
Tuesday
Meditation
You and I, we are called to be broken so that we can give
ourselves. Listen to what Jesus is
saying. He says it’s good for you that I die, the ultimate of brokenness on the
cross, so that I can give you my spirit, so that my spirit can lead you to the
full intimacy – that is what it means, to the full love, to the full
communion. I want your deaths to be like
my deaths. The spiritual life is a life
to teach you to die in order that you can give yourself. It’s good for you to die so that you can give
yourself and bear fruit.
