More loved; more powered
Thursday, 24th week in Ordinary Time
1 Tim 4: 12-16; Lk 7: 36-50
It is not that she loved more and so she was forgiven more, but she was forgiven more and so she loved more and more. It was not because Timothy was more powerful that he was entrusted with the people of God, but because he was entrusted with the people of God he was made power filled. Leaders and inspirers are powered more and loved more because they love God and live for God (or for others). Let us grow up to be more and more conscious of how much we are loved and empowered... that we may be more loved and more powered.
