Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies
it remains a single grain.
But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Those who love their life lose it,
and those who hate their life in this world
will keep it for eternal life.
—John 12. 24-25
Seeds of light,
we aren’t afraid
to go down into the darkness
of the despairing world,
for in the dark
is where the light
breaks forth
and rolls whole stones away.
Only the broken heart is holy.
Those who weep with them
who are veiled in black
are robed in white.
In the losing of all we cling to
is the granting of what can’t be taken.
In the giving of all that we are
we become.
Buried in that grave
we are no longer seeds
but only
light.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
