Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.” John 3:16-21
Wondrous God source of all life
you love every cell of creation
from tiny crawlers to infinite skies
love is your constant gift to us.
When we turn away in anger
when we turn away in grief
when we rail against pain
you offer unencumbered love.
You sent the world your son
and we did not see love's miracle
even then you did not reject us
continuing to shower us with love.
Help us to wake to love revealed
today in every face and every moment
may the earth ring with love songs
and may we live in gratitude here and now. Amen.
