Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.
(2 Thessalonians 2.16
NRSV)
The late Eddie Doherty, the veteran reporter for the CHICAGO SUN, recalled that on his wedding day he had wanted to say "I love you" to his bride. His hesitancy was that he had used the same words with many other former girlfriends. Thus, in his moment of total dedication to his new bride, the words caught in his throat as his heart searched for another way to declare the overwhelming devotion that was welling up within him.
Jesus knew that words alone could never convey the depth of God's love and so he humbled himself as a silent witness to that love. He surrendered himself completely to God's will. And he did it for you!
God of love, thank you for your love. I will pass it on. Amen.
