Today, this from the “Daily Meditation” blog distributed by the Henri Nouwen Society spoke to me and begged to be shared. Henri Nouwen once wrote:
It is central in the biblical tradition that God’s love for his people should not be forgotten. It should remain with us in the present. When everything is dark, when we are surrounded by despairing voices, when we do not see any exits, then we can find salvation in a remembered love, a love that is not simply a wistful recollection of a bygone past but a living force that sustains us in the present. Through memory, love transcends the limits of time and offers hope at any moment of our lives.
Perhaps Nouwen's words from the past reminded me that they still apply today. Perhaps they simply reminded me of Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture (see Day #2492). Perhaps I needed to read and share them as folks are pandemic fatigued, worried, sick or grieving.
Here is the promise - God loves God's people, us. Write it down and read it daily, hourly, every minute. It is a promise we can trust!! Thanks and praise to God!!
Blessings. And prayers.
