The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
With joy you draw water
at the fountain of salvation... Isaiah 12:3
The devotional for today comes from Living Faith:
Imagine the difference between those who enjoy the brightness of the sun and those who have only the scant light of a lamp. The ones who are in the sunshine have no jealousy of each other. They know there is enough light for everyone... Lamplight is limited and often insufficient. Others envy the one who has it. The best of human things are trifling and beggarly. When one has them, another must be deprived of them. Even human friendships work this way. As friendship grows stronger for one, it is weakened for others. This explains why we are jealous and angry when we have rivals.
The heart of God is filled with inexhaustible love. Because it is infinite, everyone can possess it without lessening another's possession of it. God has enough love for the entire universe without being drained. When everything has been filled to the brim with God's love there remains an infinity of love in reserve.
