Father Henri J. M. Nouwen’s Daily Meditation – Tuesday December
31, 2013 “God's Imagination”
So much of our energy, time, and money goes into maintaining
distance from one another. Many if not
most of the resources of the world are used to defend ourselves against each
other, to maintain or increase our power, and to safeguard our own privileged position.
Imagine all that effort being put in the service of peace and
reconciliation! Would there be any
poverty? Would there be crimes and
wars? Just imagine that there was no
longer fear among people, no longer any rivalry, hostility, bitterness, or
revenge. Just imagine all the people on
this planet holding hands and forming one large circle of love. We say, "I can't imagine." But God says,
"That's what I imagine, a whole world not only created but also
living in my image."
