GOD’S LOVE DOESN’T CHANGE
The stories people tell about the cross-sector work of volunteers and staff at the Daytime Warming Center have a common theme.
The act of serving is a journey in understanding God’s way to bear witness and do good as a sacred offering in an ever-changing world.
God is seeking to fully dwell with humanity. Our service is about making space for God's presence to work in, among and through us.
David Fitch talks about being present for God's presence. "In taking my attention off myself, putting it on the other person and asking God to reveal ‘herself’ — it feels like love to me."
It’s a love that was the same yesterday, as it is today and will be tomorrow.
It's where we submit all of our divisions, biases and personal agendas to God's presence and unchanging love.
In a world where love is sometimes conditional and fleeting, how can we offer God’s love — an unchanging, stable, healing, comforting, source of refuge kind of love?
God's love of everyone is what we should take with us everywhere we go, to anyone we meet. That’s the place God promises to be present.
Today, we can offer others an unwavering peace — when we trust an uncertain tomorrow to the love of an unchanging God.
We can think of the ways in which God’s unchanging mercy has been evident in our life. Thank God for it and go tell of God’s wonderful presence in our lives to others.
“Holy God, we keep watch, knowing that change for the better is coming. We keep watch, sacrificing certainty for a new revelation of God’s vision of a more loving and just world.” — Jennifer Bailey (Upper Room Discipline)
