What is needed in our world today is a flow of goodwill and action to areas of need.
"and it was distributed to each as any had need." Acts 4:35 (NRSV)
This applies to money, resources, personal presence, and support.
What is stopping us from doing this?
The answer is: we have hardened our hearts to people.
Fear causes us to harden our hearts.
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, for fear has to do with punishment," 1 John 4:18 (NRSV)
Were we able to overcome our fears and open our hearts the world would be a different place.
As water flows around obstacles and barriers so our love must flow to all those in need.
