From my daily meditation
The resurrection is not a miracle story to prove the divinity of Christ, something that makes him the winner. It’s a storyline that allows us all to be winners. ALL! No exceptions! There’s no eternal death for anybody: All are invited to draw upon this infinite Source, this infinite Mystery, this infinite Love, this infinite Possibility. Spiritually speaking, we live in a world of abundance, of infinity, but most of us walk around operating in a world of scarcity.

Father Richard describes how it’s possible to experience resurrection through experiencing God’s love:  We don’t need to wait for death to experience

You are the Goodnews

💫 While many acts of generosity are personal and often quiet, there’s something special about the joyful snowball effect that happens when a whole community falls in love with kindness.

💛 Forgiveness. You might not think of it as generosity, but it can be one of the hardest gifts to give and it has incredible power to free hearts and rebuild lives.

📖 Today’s devotional from Christians in Media UK shares from personal experience how choosing to set aside bitterness and hurt, to pursue understanding and offer peace, might be one of the greatest acts of generosity we can offer.

Only six more
