Looking to the Divine Love

From: Heart Speaks to Heart

Dear Lord Jesus…. Through your human heart we can catch a glimpse of the divine love with which we are loved and with which you yourself love us, because you and your Father are one.

It is so hard for me to believe fully in the love that flows from your heart. I am so insecure, so fearful, so doubtful and so distrustful. While I say with my words that I believe in your full and unconditional love, I continue to look for affection, support, acceptance and praise among my fellow human beings, always expecting from them what only you can give… O Lord, why is it that I am so eager to receive human praise and human support even when experience tells me how limited and conditional is the love that comes from a human heart.

Reflection Question:
Where are you looking for affirmation from people and how might you listen more deeply to God's divine love for you?

“That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
- John 17:21

The Authority of Compassion

From: The Wounded Healer:

Ministry in Contemporary Society
If we now realize that the future generation is not only an inward generation asking for articulation but also a fatherless generation looking for a new kind of authority, we must consider what the nature of this authority will be. To name it, I cannot find a better word than compassion. Compassion must become the core and even the nature of authority.

Reflection Question:
How have you experienced compassion as carrying authority and how might you practice this in your own life?

When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
- Matthew 9: 36
