Genesis 17:3-4
Abram fell face down and God said to him: For my part, here is my covenant with you: you are to become the father of a multitude of nations.

God makes a covenant with each of us. God will do God’s part. We just have to follow God. God will never stop loving us. Each of us is God’s beloved daughter or son. Following God involves learning to love as God loves…and then loving God and neighbor…as ourselves. Now that’s hard! Love God…neighbor (meaning everyone)…and myself. I don’t know about you, but loving myself is sometimes the biggest challenge. We all do things that we are ashamed of…but God loves us just the same. We are asked to do the same…using our gifts and talents as channels of that love. God calls each of us in unique ways. Abram…who became Abraham…was called at an old age to a new project. He did indeed become “the father of a multitude of nations” after first humbling himself before God and basically saying, “May Your will be done.” What is God calling you to do…in this place…in this moment of time…to channel God’s love?
