This Day: Visit us each day for a contemplative experience – an image, a Scripture reading, a quotation from Fruit of the Vine, a query, and a poem-prayer. On Saturday each week, we will feature an excerpted Quaker testimony. On Sunday each week, we will offer a Scripture reading, historic Quaker quotation, questions for consideration, and a personal essay from the Illuminate lesson for that week.

Scripture: Mark 8:22–26

“We should act on the Light we are given, as Quakers say, but it’s important to remember that none of us can know God completely, as God is so much bigger than we are. We grow and are always growing in our ability to perceive God and to serve God.” –Andy Stanton-Henry, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Is there any truth about which you’ve been dogmatic?


79

Even after a painful attack,

you must still love your enemy.

How is this possible?

Those who follow the Spirit

find ways to forgive.

Kind ones seek peace.

The selfish seek victory.

Spirit enjoys harmony and love.

Let this guide your life.

–Jim Teeters, Because of This
