Do You See Him At The Border

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
—  Mahatma Gandhi
[Jesus is at our border…
Matthew 25: 42-44
42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’
There are people in the world so desperate for a chance to raise their families in peace, that Heaven cannot appear to them except in the form of the United States.  —  KMAB]

A Moment Of Union

Even in sin, the act of love  – done with love –  is shadowed with divinity.  Its conformity may be at fault, but its nature is not altered, and its nature is creative, communicative, splendid in surrender.  It was in the splendor of my surrender to Nina and she to me, that I first understood how a man might surrender himself to God  – if a God existed.  The moment of love is a moment of union  – of body and spirit –  and the act of faith is mutual and implicit.
―  Morris L. West
From his novel: “The Devil’s Advocate“

Small Things

To me, God and compassion are one and the same.  Compassion is the joy of sharing.  It’s doing small things for the love of each other – just a smile, or carrying a bucket of water, or showing some simple kindness.  These are the small things that make up compassion.

Diversity

God does not work by only one method, paint in only one color, play in only one key, nor does He make only one star shine onto the earth.
