Hear and Do, O People

Read Matthew 22, 34-40 Pentecost +21 Stop for a moment, and close your eyes, and be mindful of God’s presence. What does it feel like for God to be near you? Perhaps it’s like the golden light of a sunrise shining through the window or like feeling safe and held, feeling unafraid. As believers, in and followers, of Jesus, you and I are as close to God as our own mindfulness, as our own soul’s desire, as our own being.
