Running With Mark 11

Day Eleven – January 8, 2020
Read: Psalm 2 New Revised Standard Version
Here, once again, is a Psalm re-written by Nan Merrill in her book, Psalms for Praying – An Invitation to Wholeness
Why do nations and people plot against
one another,
setting themselves apart and conspiring
against the Beloved and those
who follow Love’s way?
They say to themselves, “We are free
of Love’s law;
humility and service are for others.”
The Beloved, who is ever present, can but
smile at their foolishness,
knowing that one day, they will
fall to their knees in regret.
Distracted by greed and arrogance
they do not hear the Beloved’s Voice
whispering in the silence:
“Awaken all of you living in darkness!
We are all One in Love Consciousness.
You live in my Heart even as
I dwell in yours.
For you are mine: I am your Beloved.
I have given you abundant life
to love and care for all Creation.
May it be for the delight of All.
Yet, to know Me, fears and illusions,
must be faced,
as an iron rod hitting a clay pot
shining Light into the darkness.”
Blessed are all who have asked
for forgiveness,
whose hearts radiate the Love
we all are at the core.
