Beautifully written and very thought and heart provoking. Challenges each day in how we approach one another from simple things to difficult things. Scripture can point us back to how we should converse and respond but it truly is the heart of Jesus. Transformation needs to take place, less of us and more of Him....falling short each day but continually calling upon the Lord to change my heart.
Beautifully put. Why and how do we read scripture? It reads us. It reveals our hearts. In so glad it is the living word of God, unlike any other book. I want him to change my heart. I don't just want to check boxes in my Christian life.
Beautiful and profound essay, Gilda! Great insight connecting how we read Scripture to how we read the person in front of us. Also: “mercy can finish what an argument cannot!” I never noticed how Jesus doesn’t demand that the lawyer name the Samaritan but instead told him to go and do likewise. 🩷
Thank you so much! I’m so glad to see how this reflection spoke to you. Thank you for sharing it with me. May we see others as Jesus sees them and go and do likewise. Love as He loves. 🥰

Lovely insight, Mary. Transformational. Less of us and more of Him. Reflecting His heart toward one another. ❤️

I love this—“It reads us.” It’s so amazing, isn’t it? Yes, change our hearts, Lord, and make us more like You. Thank you for your insights.
Wonderful and thoughtful insights Gilda. ❤️
Thank you!!! So glad it blessed you!
