What “new thing” (v. 19) has the Lord done in your life? What is he doing now? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page 1020).
See,
I am doing a new thing!
Now
it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I
am making a way in the desert
and
streams in the wasteland.
(Isaiah
43:19)
And
now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV)
Kathy's
death was deeply revelatory to me. It made me realize the breadth
and depth of my love for her—which was more entire than I had any
inkling of before the sudden awareness that I might lose her.
Secondly, her last days made me deeply aware of the importance of
love's integrity as foundational to existence. Such love forms the
touchstone by which we evaluate all behavior—it is the ground of
our being, the seed of ethics, the source of meaning. The craziness
of the world arises from losing sight of this. Things not done in
love's service are in the final analysis diversion, escapism, and
chaff; while even the most ridiculous of things becomes valuable and
cherished when done in the service of God's holy love.
