Reflections Along the Jesus Way
May 18, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“Some people seem to think of God in a similar way as they recall their grandmothers. Some may remember when they visited Grandma that they had to be extremely careful not to disturb the museum-like setting of what was erroneously called her ‘living-room.’ As children, they weren’t allowed to sit down, to touch anything, and they had to take great care not to break anything.
God’s kingdom of heaven is not a grandmother’s living room that’s virtually roped off, to be used for viewing purposes only. Our relationship with God is more like sitting down at his kitchen table (which, to be fair to grandmothers, is a memorable, positive feature many of us discovered in our relationship with Grandma). In God’s kitchen, there’s always something cooking, the smell of a pie or baked bread just out of the oven fills the room, and a freshly brewed pot of coffee beckons us.
Our relationship with God is all about sitting, talking, and being filled with nourishing, tasty spiritual food. What’s there to be cautious about?”
