Your Face
A reading for Wednesday, February 24, 2016: John 20:11-18.
Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face
in the light of the moon and patterns of stars,
in sacred mountain rifts and ancient groves,
in mighty seas and creatures of the deep.
Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face
in the light of eyes we love,
in the salt of tears we have tasted,
in weathered countenances east and west,
in the soft skin glow of the child everywhere.
Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face,
there is Your face
among us.
-John Philip Newell
Even when Mary was convinced that Jesus was dead, when she turned around he was there. Jesus promised never to leave us, not ever. He will be there with you today... perhaps even in places you don't expect. In the eyes of a stranger, the hand of a child, or the embrace of someone you love.
Thank you God for Your Face!
