What is the point of all our doing if we never take time to rest in God's presence? So many things that He created -- trees, grass, birds ... deep ocean creatures ... stars and planets -- they do not strive to be noticed or accomplish. They delight us simply because they are. Watching wind and light playfully interact in treetops, admiring the deep richness of oceans and the vast beauty of skies, these are enough for me. Is it perhaps not enough for God as well?
After all, we are His children. Do I love my children because of what they do for me? Of course not; I love them simply for who they are, because they are. I am loved, must be loved, must allow myself to receive love, in the same way.
Father, open our hearts to receive your lavish, limitless love.
