The Meditation
Do you remember the story of the little boy who
carried another boy on his shoulder and
a stranger asked, “Isn’t he too heavy?”
“No,” replied the little boy, “He is my brother.”
Love sent Kagawa to live in a little room six feet
square in the slums of Kobe.
Love kept Grenfell in the cold north land of
Labrador bringing healing to the helpless.
Love sent Helen Keller out across the world
ministering to the blind and those who could
not speak.
Love is the greatest power for motivating men and women
to do good and to be good.
For love’s sake, one person will live for another,
die for another, suffer for another.
For love’s sake, Jesus came and He still comes to
bring blessing and forgiveness to the homeless,
the helpless, and the hopeless.
“For love’s sake” is the grace that turns an
ordinary gift into a sacrament of friendship.
