Matthew 10 24-28 Prayer Art by (me!) ~topps
-murders in the news; more murders in the news; more murders in the news..
WE are not strangers to this violence; to this shock; to this pain & anguish & SUFFERING
but nor are we strangers to the healing powers of God; of love.
when i pray for the loved ones of murder victims, i do not use words so much; i employ a visualization exercise
i see a bright love light ribbon and watch it enter through, weave, circle, reinforce.. entering directly into the shock; looping around and entering directly into the epicenter of emotional pain; out and around and then directly into and through the raw unique spaces created through brokenness; love piercing the anger; dispersing otherwise concentrated areas of anguish and despair; God's gentle, compassionate, will and power-full love entering directly into and through the mortal human consciousness as it processes its powerlessness to undo an atrocity
our lives here are fleeting, whether or not they are cut short by an accident, illness or murder
love is infinite and eternal; love exists both within & without a physical human body.
love is omnipresent
God is love.
***
Psalm 11: 5 one of many. It is clear throughout the Bible; God hates evil & wickedness..
and plenty distinctions between sinners who God loves; and -evildoers, who God detests
***
Revelation 21: 8
IN JESUS praiseworthy, trustworthy, chain-breaking, pain-taking, way-making name; amen & amen.
