Psalm 136
God created the world out of love, think about that for a moment.
Every tree out of love.
Every flower out of love.
Every cloud out of love.
Every star out of love.
Every rock out of love.
Every color out of love.
Every scent out of love.
Every note out of love.
Every breath out of love.
And, perhaps most of all, every moment out of love.
Now, think about how grateful you are, and how grateful you should be.
Think about the times you whine and grumble. Think about the times you wonder if there is a god. Think about the times when you question God's love for you. Think about the times when you have a bad day and wonder if God has it in for you. Think about your focus on the pain that passes. Think about your preoccupation with the storms.
God created the world out of love. God created you out of love.
Every moment is a gift, because the whole of creation is a gift. Every breath is a gift, every heartbeat a gift. May you remember that in this moment, no matter what this moment is bringing to you, because even in the pain and sorrow you are still breathing, your heart is still beating and God is still loving you.
+ Do you believe that God created out of love? Why or why not?
+ How can you praise God in this moment?
