- | ** ...** | + | ** Honour |
+ | The honor which God gives is a special kind of honor. We can see it in the life of Jesus. He takes humans | ||
+ | serious. He honours everyone - from the poor widow to all the fishermen and women around him. The honour | ||
+ | he gives is not linked to money, nor to power. It is linked to humanity. It is given to recognize the | ||
+ | dignity and value each and every human is given by the eternal Lord. | ||
+ | Men can love vain words. They might love to exercise power, to be cruel to each other or do dwell | ||
+ | in the feeling of being on top. But all this will not lead to humanity, to become a human. David prays, | ||
+ | in a situation where he seems to be crushed, to be held down. He talks about trusting the Lord, | ||
+ | trusting that God will help, that God is in power after all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are invited to turn to the Lord with our trouble. Let us search our honor in him, to be human the way | ||
+ | he wanted humans to be from the very beginning. He wants us to share his truth, his love, his dedication, | ||
+ | his clarity, his service, his appreciation and his honor. This is a fantastic way to go! | ||
