See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God;
and
that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
"Even the dumbest animal," writes author Maurice Lamm, "cannot saunter purposelessly, going in
circles all day, and getting nowhere . . ." We must have meaning. We must have direction. We
must
have purpose. Christ defines our meaning, direction and purpose as children of God who share in
God's amazing love.
(1
John 3:1
NRSV)
On a treadmill, several donkeys were harnessed to a large wheel, which they spun as they trotted
around, thereby generating power. The donkeys wore blinders in order to block them from seeing
the wheel. Day after day they kept trotting around and around, but the blinders affixed to the
sides
of their heads tricked them into thinking they were going straight. One day someone pulled off
the
blinders--and the animals went crazy!
Dear God, thank you for connecting me to the real meaning of life. Amen.
