Celtic Lent Day 15

We must not grow weary in doing little things for the love of God, who looks not to the greatness of the deed, but to the love. Some failure at the start should not dismay us. Habit comes finally, and that produces the action without our thinking about it, and with wondrous joy.
Brother Lawrence.

We've just got back from seeing the latest Marvel film, Black Panther. Without wanting to give spoilers away there's a point where a character choses love of their country over their lover. It does make you think about the nature of love, in all its guises, and whether one sort is greater than another. I'm not sure if I have an answer to that, only that we are beings made for love. This can actually make us selfish, as we think of the world in terms of how things effect the people or things we love most, caught up in our own happiness; but it can also make us generous-hearted, hospitable and open-minded as love as an action, not a feeling, radiates out from us and effects the world around us.

Scripture
Sow for yourselves righteousness;
   reap steadfast love;
   break up your fallow ground;
for it is time to seek the Lord,
   that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. 
Hosea 10.12
