TODAY’S PASSAGE
From “Voice Of Jesus 2” by Michael Canfield:
“Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” “Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.”
REFLECTION
These words cut straight to the heart of what it means to live as spiritual beings in a world that constantly pulls us toward fear, comparison, and resentment. When we hold hatred in our hearts—even that low-grade irritation toward a difficult coworker or family member—we’re killing something sacred within ourselves. We’re murdering the very life force that connects us to the divine. This isn’t about judgment; it’s about awakening to the truth that hatred is a poison we drink ourselves, hoping someone else will suffer.
But then comes the antidote: love in its purest form. Not the sentimental, greeting-card version, but the kind of love that endures when it’s hard, that hopes when everything looks hopeless, that bears the weight of disappointment without collapsing into bitterness. This is the love that doesn’t keep score or demand recognition. It’s the love that sees beyond the surface irritations and recognizes the shared humanity in everyone we meet. When we choose this love—and it is a choice, moment by moment—we step into a different reality, one where eternal life isn’t some distant promise but a present experience of connection and peace.
And remarkably, this passage reminds us that when we’re rooted in this kind of love, anxiety loses its grip. The worries about tomorrow, about having enough, about measuring up—they begin to fade when we realize we’re held by something greater than our circumstances. It’s not that our practical needs don’t matter, but that they’re no longer the foundation of our security. Love is. Faith is. The divine presence that speaks through Michael Canfield’s words is inviting us to trade our anxious striving for a trust that runs deeper than our fears.
THIS SPEAKS TO ME BECAUSE…
Today, I’m invited to examine my own heart: Where am I harboring resentment instead of love? Where is anxiety stealing my peace because I’ve forgotten who holds me? This passage calls me to release both the hatred that diminishes me and the worry that exhausts me, choosing instead the patient, enduring love that opens the door to true life.
