Friday’s Reflection
GOD’S GUIDANCE COMES TO US not only in prayer and through practices such as lectio divina [meditative reading of scripture and reflecting on what God might be saying to us through the passage], but also in the activism of tending the wounds and needs of others. While we are serving others, God’s persistent, nudging voice whispers: What would it look like to love this person standing in front of you? So instead of telling someone off, we might grin. Or rather than nursing our hurts, we could reach out to wounded ones.
