The “Facing the Day” thought for me today was “God’s promised love is as good as God’s faithfulness.” That gives me confidence because I’m not nearly as faithful in loving God or loving others as I should be. That is what I work on everyday.
Today is the anniversary of the death of George Herbert. George Herbert was Anglican priest and poet who lived from 1593-1633. He gave up a promising political career to become an Anglican priest. He died three years from tb after going to his first parish. At his death, he gave a stack of his writings to a friend with the instructions to publish them if it would help someone or burn them. In one of Herbert’s poems he compares the role of a country priest to the sun shining through stained glass windows, which he loved. We are to be the glass that lets God’s light shine through.
May I be as faithful in letting God’s light shine through me as God is in God’s faithfulness in loving me.
