Day 072r: Finding GOD down here in Heaven … (June 25, 2019)

If one believes that God is ‘up there’ in Heaven, somehow above & separate from the world, and that He is preparing rewards for ‘the worthy’ in a life after this one, then that belief can easily have the effect of having people passively accept their circumstances, however cruel or unjust they might be, and thereby also be less willing to courageously strive to change the same. And yet for us, those who follow The Way of Christ – those who find illumination in the permanent potential of this mortal world, the situation is the following: wherever poverty or oppression or pollution or injustice has taken root, and made the world less fit for the flourishing of life and love, there we find our work to do.” ~ inspired by Brendan Myers
