What do you seek? opening the journey toward forgiveness
“What do you seek?” This question of Jesus invites us into a deeper encounter with God’s love, a love that abides even in our wounds and longings. This is an encounter that invites us to identify where I have most deeply known the love of God in my own life, and what makes it difficult to believe in God's love at times.
In the rhythm of our daily communities—at work, at home, at school, at church—we experience joy and encouragement, but also misunderstanding, disappointment, and hurt. How am I being called to abide in God's love - in my family, in my work, in my community? What would it mean to let God's abiding presence transform the way I love others?
