New Ways to See the World

The world imagines that good fences make for good neighbors. It is a way of defining boundaries and who belongs and who doesn’t. We continue to hear in the message of scripture, though, that this is not how God works. In Jesus’ prayer, we hear that we don’t belong to the world but we belong to God. When we follow Jesus, then we follow the path of God. This path is one of welcome and hospitality. This outpouring of divine love and way of living in the world is my prayer for all of God’s children.
