February 22, 2005	Read 1 Corinthians 13
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face.”
WHEN THE MORNING DAWNS Think about the dimness if you were to walk around having forgotten your glasses, the frustration of not being able to focus and see clearly, until finally you realize that your glasses are still on the nightstand. It is amazing how clearly you see the surroundings when you put on the glasses. So it is with the understanding of God and his ways. We pray, we study, trying to discern what God wants us to do with our lives, how we can be a witness to his great love for us. How comforting it is to know that our understanding will go from darkness to light when he comes again. In the meantime, we need to continue to pray for guidance and inspiration to better understand the scriptures and live out the commandments by being examples of God’s love in the world, reaching out to our communities and doing what Jesus asked us to do: offering a glass of water in his name (Matthew 10:42). We need to remember the greatest commandment as found in Matthew 22:37-39: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment and the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”   Thank you, Lord, for the gifts of faith, hope and love. Help us to spread your love around as we go about our daily lives. Amen Jette L Mortensen.
