John 15:16
“It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain.”

We all start out in life believing that we are the center of the universe and all things are here to cater to our every whim. It’s a good way to start out. Babies need constant care and attention to know they are loved and accepted. But as we grow we come to realize that we are not the center of the world. That takes “dying to yourself”…letting go of egocentric desires…and coming to know that God is at the center of all that is. It is not about me and my story…but about God and God’s story. Each of us was loved into existence by God to be tiny reflections of the One who made us. Each of us was chosen to be a unique reflection of our Loving Source…to bear the unique fruit that only each of us can bear and then to share it with all. Each of us is called to take part in the cosmic dance of creation.
