Our message for this week from James 1:12-15. On first reading it seems a little painful but a closer look reminds us that God is leading us into lives of abundance where the love of God is the source of our worth and confidence.
This is a picture of the place where I wrote this talk. I was glad to be in such a beautiful location.
Here is our talk for this week:
Reflective questions:
In my life, what do I think makes me worthwhile?
How does God remind me of my value as a child of God?
How am I rich and how am I poor? Another way to ask this is, what do I have to share and where do I need help?
In what ways might God be leading me into communion with the Trinity in the present moment?
How is being present with God, present in the love and peace that comes from God, its own reward?
