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: Luke 10:29–37

“God made us, saw us in our need, and Christ suffered and died to redeem us. But God’s love for us is no greater nor less than his love for each of our neighbors.” –Fruit of the Vine

Query: Is it easier for you to love yourself or to love others?


35

Show love.

It is irresistible.

All who follow

will be safe,

glad to live in harmony.

The world’s attractions

captivate us, but

the Spirit of Love—

it cannot be taught.

It is just Truth.

You can’t see it or hear it,

but it is available

in endless supply.

–Jim Teeters, Because of This
