Lessons from a painting

Rembrant’s painting depicts an invitation to step into the divine embrace where we’ll receive our deepest desires: belonging and a sense of home. Can you trust that God loves you enough to search for you? Can you trust the one who runs out to embrace you as soon as you remember that small voice that calls you “Beloved”?

With all the noise in the world, so much of it frightening and disturbing, it is very difficult to realize that those loud voices promise us everything but deliver nothing. It is essential to our well-being that we find a quiet space to hear that voice that calls us home.

It is only in that quiet space that you can hear the invitation to live the celebration!
