I posted a request for prayer about 1 month ago for a family member (Penny) who was facing cancer surgery for the 2nd time. She has had the surgery and the pathology came back completely negative. Thank you to any amd all who prayed for Penny. God has heard our prayers.
I want you to simply picture yourself, either as you are now, or maybe a younger version of yourself. See yourself in your mind, and just try to hold yourself with a soft, open, and loving heart. And now imagine yourself literally being held, cupped by God’s great big hands.
I don’t know who comes to your mind, when we talk about how we break this, "Do not murder" commandment and harbour murder in our hearts. But likely somebody does. Perhaps a few somebodies.
How does this impact our spiritual practices of loving one another well? How do we be present in absence? Is that even possible?! How can we help carry each other’s hearts, when I can’t be in the room with you?
