‘The measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.’
This seems like the most obvious of lessons. After all, we are largely who we are because of what we do, how we treat others, and what we expect out of life.
If we live generously, without holding harsh judgments, forgiving those who hurt us, responding to those in need, then we will find ourselves at peace – with ourselves and with others – and living the hundred-fold life.
As I said, this seems to be the most obvious of lessons. So, why then is it so tempting to spend our energies finding fault and hoarding our blessings?
May our continued journey through this holy season of Lent fill us with a gentler spirit and a more generous heart, so that through all we say and do, we might assist in the building of the Father’s Kingdom of true and lasting peace.
