Love - A reading for May 31st

Bishop Steven Charleston's book Hope As Old As Fire contains prayers that he was written over the course of a year.  He published this book in 2012 through Red Moon Publications.

In the Bishop's Office we begin with a short prayer gathering and the reading for the day comes from this book.  After the reading there is silence for a few minutes.  Some may ponder the reading and wonder how he knew it was what they needed to hear.

Here is today's reading.

Love comes to us, abides in us, transforms us, becomes us.

Love finds us in hidden places but dances with us in public.

Love lives in quiet but shouts our name, even if only we can hear it.

Love fills any space we will make, follows any direction we will take.

Love waits for an eternity to share one moment's grace.

Love is who we are, when we are, what we are, as love first imagined.
