Lent 2009: Day 6

Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Gimel, (part 2)
With a curse you rebuke the proud
who stray from your commands.
Free me from disgrace and contempt,
for I observe your decrees.
Though princes meet and talk against me,
your servant studies your laws.
Your decrees are my delight;
they are my counselors.
*****
There is a reason Jesus came to us as a servant.
Jesus knew the "Princes" could only accept him,
and let him inside their eliteness, their inner circles,
if He were their servant, if He served them,
if He waited on them.
A servant can lovingly touch and care for the Prince in ways and in places his “equals” his “peers” may never be able to.

Dear heavenly Love, I keep my eyes and my heart on your laws of Love;
particularly forgiveness and understanding.
Your Laws of Love are my Spiritual Direction.
I am a student of servanthood.
