got 3 minutes?
welcome to your daily lenten retreat
Three minutes a day can give you 24 hours of peace.
Lisa Mladinich shares her reflection on today’s retreat:
How do we love one another as God loves us? I have to laugh, because it seems like a trick question. We all know we can’t love as God loves. And besides, we just can’t find anybody who deserves to be loved like that, right? Be honest.
We try. But when you think about it, sharing in God’s life for all eternity is an unattainable gift for us. And it hurts to admit that God’s love for us is totally undeserved. It’s kind of embarrassing…yet, there it is. He does love us. Right now, as we are.
And because it is His will to reach out and lift His struggling children to His heart, our little efforts are accepted like wildflowers crushed in a toddler’s hand, and sighed over like treasures. So, here’s my proposal: if it is so easy to please Him, let’s allow others to please us. Let’s give them all a break. And love them WILDLY.
