“The
heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1 KJV
When you list all the things that
you thank God for, do you ever include air? Air is just so plain that we ignore
it or simply take it for granted. We can’t see it and unless the wind is
blowing we can’t feel it. It has no taste or smell or sound of its own. For all
that it doesn’t have to appeal to our senses; it does have the characteristic
of utter necessity. We simply cannot live without it.
Sometimes we are tempted to treat
some people like air. To us they are invisible. We look through them or past
them to what we want to see. These people sit in our churches and share the
sacraments with us, but we don’t see them. Like air, God made them, too. Like
air they have great value to us as part of Christ’s body. Jesus described them
as the “least of these my brethren”. If
they are His brethren, then they are ours also. Let us find the value in the
invisible and give thanks for their participation in our lives.
Dear
Father, Help me to see those who are “invisible” and love them as You do. Amen.
