Reflection for Monday, Feb 18, 2008
Sorry this is late. Being off of work yesterday completely threw me off.
In Chapter 5, Paul begins to speak about the effects of our salvation through faith.
Paul's message in this passage - that our salvation breaks down the barriers that we have built up to separate us from God and that God's love provides strength for us when times are bad - is sometimes tough to remember. It is not easy to be as trusting as Abraham. But I loved the image of God's love being poured into our hearts. I think that very accurately describes those times in my life when my faith is strongest. It has almost always arisen during worship services when the Holy Spirit's presence is palpable to me. That intense feeling may not last long but I can then draw upon those experiences when times are bad or when I am feeling isolated.
