1 Timothy 6:17-18 … Being Wealthy in WORKS (08/15/16)
“God provides us with everything we need for our true enJoyment.; for we are here to Do Good, to be rich in Good Works, and ever-ready to share.” ~ unknown (1 Timothy 6:17-18)
The opportunity to selflessly Care for another is everything we need for our deepest in-JOY-ment (indeed, radically & fully giving to another is the only way to fully access the same). And this opportunity is omnipresent; available to each & every one of us in every single moment of our lives. The Gift in question need not be physical and it need not be to one of the “downtrodden” (though the former given to the latter are Power-full gifts in-deed). For in Truth almost every sentient being we encounter is essentially starved for a real, intimate Connection. And as such, mere warm eye-contact & a gentle smile is more than enough (though a heart-felt Hello and a long embrace are more than fine as well) …
And even for those who find themselves “alone in the desert” — even for those who are not blessed with sentient cousins nearby to whom to give, there is always the opportunity to pause and sink into Gratitude while sinking to one’s knees; always the opportunity to consciously beam out a profound and overwhelming emission of Love for Life itself.
Amen … Let it be so
