“…See,
I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey
the commandments of the LORD your God that I am commanding you today; and the
curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn from
the way that I am commanding you today, to follow other gods that you have not
known.”
Deuteronomy
11:18-28, Saturday Lent One, Morning Prayer, the Daily Office, Year One.
To know the blessings of love’s joy, I must
continually push myself to be vulnerable to compassion. The more available I am
to loving, the greater the blessing of love’s experience. To experience the
curse of a life absent of joy, I need only close and harden my heart; I need
only withdraw from the loving that is the fullest expression of being fully
human, God’s great gift.
