Lectio reflection 1/24/14
Verse
It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? (Galatians 5:13-15 MSG)
My Word or Phrase
serve one another in love
My Image
What I see is Jesus rising from the table, tying a towel around his waist and washing the disciples feet. They didn’t ask for this but Jesus was doing it out of love.
My Invitation
My invitation is to simple emulate Jesus and serve one another in love. Easy to say but tough to do.
As you read this verse what is God’s invitation to you?
