PAYBACKS

A meditation based upon Psalm 116

It’s easy to be drawn to people who like us

who listen to us

Which is why it’s easy to be drawn to the Divine

It doesn’t matter what’s going on in the world

how we might be distracted

God is always leaning in toward us

It’s almost too simple an idea

And yet, in many ways, it's too big to comprehend

how the Divine protects us

wipes the tears from our cheeks

gathers us up when we stumble

There really isn’t any way to pay back the Divine

other than to give of ourselves to others

That is where true freedom is found
