A MEDITATION

A MEDITATION BY STEVE HAARMAN

Our faith must not be just about

ourselves and the good we do

but about all of us and the joint

Improvement of conditions. Free will

allows us to stray, but our purpose

stays strong. We are all living on the

foundation built for us by Jesus. But

still we do not all walk together

Some will stray, only to return. Their

bad deeds are forgotten and like the

Prodigal son their return is cause for

a celebration and they are welcomed

as though they had never left. When

we are personally offended and the

offender returns for forgiveness we

should be ready to forgive and celebrate.

This is the spirit or love that Christ

taught us. It is a lesson worth learning.
