THE INVISIBLE UNKNOWN MOVES AS NEEDED

Jesus said to the host who had invited him, 'When you hold a lunch or dinner … invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; and blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.' —Luke 14:12–14

I only quote the Bible when I agree with what it says...and that depends entirely on my rare ability to understand what it says.  

I do love the above verse though...there is nothing to not understand according to me. It puts into words my limited understanding of God's will, God's way...which is when what we are being given seems to be the opposite of what we're praying for...bingo! God's will, God's way.

The material mind is not built to understand that...spiritual mind has a tough enough time with it. We can see inviting those who cannot repay, but not because they cannot repay...and there it is, the point. 

Because they cannot repay, we can share repeatedly...a one-shot deal, as on a special occasion, does not even count. Their need for food is our need to feed. It is our inner Self that raises our consciousness and meets the need.     

I suspect this is where the miracle works of grace and God flow freely...feeding the thousands, etc. There is no way two loaves and a fish could feed a dozen much less thousands, but why quibble when we have so many honest and true examples in our own life...unexplainable but by grace and by God.

As Anne Lamott was quoted yesterday, The movement of grace in our lives...is the mystery. Some invisible unknown moves as needed, and we gratefully pray thank you.

Thank you.
