Evening: Psalm 34; Luke 3:7-18
Hope
is, I think, the opposite of yearning. It is confidence … confidence
that life springs from and depends on a power greater than our own. Life
flourishes independently of me. John Baptist taught that Jesus had the
power to help me sort out my priorities. When I do, I am generous, not
hoarding stuff, but confidently sharing and satisfied. When I hang onto
stuff, it’s a sign that I trust things more than I trust Love, and I am
probably afraid of something. When I live in the confidence that all
will be well, I need only the essentials.
