typetext/javascript charsetutf-8>/script>/p>p>em>Here’s a meditation on a hrefhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?searchMatthew%2022%3A34-40&versionNIV>Matthew 22: 34-40. /a>/em>Do press the green button to listen./p>p>em> /em>/p>p>So, an expert in the Mosaic law, a Pharisee, tests Jesus: “Teacher,/p>p>which is the greatest commandment in the law?” A mined field,/p>p>a trap, for the question implied: “And which of the 613 commands/p>p>in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, is em>less/em> important?”/p>p> /p>p>And Christ’s to-the-point, simple, incisive words distil the law’s/p>p>multitudinous “thou shalls” and “thou shalt nots,” into one radiant/p>p>word from the Torah, which bathes everything in golden light. em>Love./em>/p>p>“Love God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all/p>p>your mind,” Jesus quotes Deuteronomy. This is the great and first,/p>p>the em>megale/em> and em>protos /em>commandment, he says. For in worshipping God,/p>p>our souls find surrender, peace, direction, and joy. A rightness!/p>p> /p>p>But we live among people. And so, Jesus gave us a second/p>p>commandment, quoting an obscure verse from Leviticus, “You shall/p>p>love your neighbour as yourself,” (he uses the koine Greek words,/p>p>em>agape, /em>generous concern, and em>plesion/em>, those near or close by). Or,/p>p>as Jesus puts it in his Golden Rule, “In everything, do to others/p>p>what you would have them do to you” (which somehow seems/p>p>more doable!). On these two commandments, these two hinges/p>p>of love, Jesus says, all the law and the prophets hang–a quarter/p>p>of the Bible! And, indeed, our own lives and this world would/p>p>be far sweeter if we treated others as we’d like to be treated. So/p>p>much dishonesty, sharp speech, and unkindness would be eliminated;/p>p>we would not sow bitter seeds, and our harvests would be blessed./p>p> /p>p>And so, a golden triangle to guide our lives and decisions: Love/p>p>God first, for He, who created this universe and you, and who/p>p>loves you, dream-giver, dream-granter, is worthy of your love./p>p>Treat yourself with kindness; don’t push or berate yourself,/p>p>nor neglect your physical, spiritual, or mental health. And treat/p>p>people as gently and considerately as you would wish to be treated./p>p>This triangle is Jesus’ brilliant summary of the law and the prophets./p>p> /p>p>Love God as Jesus did, waking very early while it was still dark/p>p>to chat with his father; love yourself as Jesus loved himself, maintaining/p>p>his physical, spiritual and emotional strength through time alone, hiking/p>p>and praying in gardens, in the desert, by rivers, and on mountains. Love/p>p>people as Jesus did, sharing a plentiful meal he created from a few loaves,/p>p>cooking fish for his disciples, bringing healing through his presence, wisdom,/p>p>faith, and words. This great golden triad is a compass for our lives./p>p>Love. Of God, of those close to us, and of our own selves. Amen./p>p> /p>p> /p>!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.5.0) simplesharebuttons.com -->div classssba-classic-2 ssba ssbp-wrap alignleft ssbp--theme-1>div styletext-align:left>span classssba-share-text>Share this.../span>br/>a data-sitefacebook classssba_facebook_share ssba_share_link hrefhttps://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?tChrist’s Great Golden Triad to Guide Our Actions and Decisions&uhttps://anitamathias.com/2024/04/01/christs-great-golden-triad-to-guide-our-lives-and-decisions/ target_blank stylecolor:;

whichChrist, the Lion of Judah, stands at the centre of the throne in the guise of a lamb, looking as if it had been slain. No wonder his disciples struggled with his counter-cultural values. Oh, and we too!The mother of the Apostles James and John, asks Jesus for a favour—that once He became King, her sons got the most important, prestigious seats at court, on his right and left. And the other ten, who would have liked the fame, glory, power,limelight and honour themselves are indignant and threatened.Oh-oh, Jesus says. Who gets five talents, who gets one,who gets great wealth and success, who doesn’t–that theFather controls. Don’t waste your one precious and fleetinglife seeking to lord it over others or boss them around.But, in his wry kindness, he offers the ambitious twelveand us something better than the second or third place.He tells us how to actually be the most important person toothers at work, in our friend group, social circle, or church:Use your talents, gifts, and energy to bless others.And we instinctively know Jesus is right. The greatest people in our lives are the kind people who invested in us, guided us and whose wise, radiant words are engraved on our hearts.Wanting to sit with the cleverest, most successful, most famous people is the path of restlessness and discontent. The competition is vast. But seek to see people, to listen intently, to be kind, to empathise, and doors fling wide open for you, you rare thing!The greatest person is the one who serves, Jesus says. Serves by using the one, two, or five talents God has given us to bless others, by finding a place where our deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet. By writing which is a blessing, hospitality, walking with a sad friend, tidying a house.And that is the only greatness worth having. That you yourself,your life and your work are a blessing to others. That the love and wisdom God pours into you lives in people’s hearts and minds, a blessing>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_17973628967535588 data-date1695846944>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CxtXlqOoBDr/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/382966446_705555491480541_7785687594767561887_n.jpg?_nc_cat101&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcRJvIAhqSfNMAX8CLeXz&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfARKAcn7tWLPKXbN4Fr-kvQSmJoObj9_TDSGjsm1DV2og&oe654BEA0E data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/382966446_705555491480541_7785687594767561887_n.jpg?_nc_cat101&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcRJvIAhqSfNMAX8CLeXz&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfARKAcn7tWLPKXbN4Fr-kvQSmJoObj9_TDSGjsm1DV2og&oe654BEA0E","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/382966446_705555491480541_7785687594767561887_n.jpg?_nc_cat101&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcRJvIAhqSfNMAX8CLeXz&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfARKAcn7tWLPKXbN4Fr-kvQSmJoObj9_TDSGjsm1DV2og&oe654BEA0E","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/382966446_705555491480541_7785687594767561887_n.jpg?_nc_cat101&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcRJvIAhqSfNMAX8CLeXz&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfARKAcn7tWLPKXbN4Fr-kvQSmJoObj9_TDSGjsm1DV2og&oe654BEA0E","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/382966446_705555491480541_7785687594767561887_n.jpg?_nc_cat101&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcRJvIAhqSfNMAX8CLeXz&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfARKAcn7tWLPKXbN4Fr-kvQSmJoObj9_TDSGjsm1DV2og&oe654BEA0E"}>span classsbi-screenreader>https://anitamathias.com/.../dont-walk-away-from-j/span>img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png althttps://anitamathias.com/.../dont-walk-away-from-jesus.../Sharing this podcast I recorded last week. LINK IN BIOSo Jesus makes a beautiful offer to the earnest, moral young man who came to him, seeking a spiritual life. Remarkably, the young man claims that he has kept all the commandments from his youth, including the command to love one’s neighbour as oneself, a statement Jesus does not challenge.The challenge Jesus does offers him, however, the man cannot accept—to sell his vast possessions, give the money to the poor, and follow Jesus encumbered.He leaves, grieving, and Jesus looks at him, loves him, and famously observes that it’s easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to live in the world of wonders which is living under Christ’s kingship, guidance and protection. He reassures his dismayed disciples, however, that with God even the treasure-burdened can squeeze into God’s kingdom, “for with God, all things are possible.”Following him would quite literally mean walking into a world of daily wonders, and immensely rich conversation, walking through Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, quite impossible to do with suitcases and backpacks laden with treasure. For what would we reject God’s specific, internally heard whisper or directive, a micro-call? That is the idol which currently grips and possesses us. Not all of us have great riches, nor is money everyone’s greatest temptation—it can be success, fame, universal esteem, you name it…But, since with God all things are possible, even those who waver in their pursuit of God can still experience him in fits and snatches, find our spirits singing on a walk or during worship in church, or find our hearts strangely warmed by Scripture, and, sometimes, even “see” Christ stand before us. For Christ looks at us, Christ loves us, and says, “With God, all things are possible,” even we, the flawed, entering his beautiful Kingdom.>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_18235000855231141 data-date1694282520>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cw-vsDYIkmS/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/376805996_1404019500149834_1217781044531562420_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc2tTSkS0XpbYAX9RwdzR&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDrHwpwXC7TOkhxDin7J6yS6_h4TGyix0yCV1dBb3iOvw&oe654C8515 data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/376805996_1404019500149834_1217781044531562420_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc2tTSkS0XpbYAX9RwdzR&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDrHwpwXC7TOkhxDin7J6yS6_h4TGyix0yCV1dBb3iOvw&oe654C8515","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/376805996_1404019500149834_1217781044531562420_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc2tTSkS0XpbYAX9RwdzR&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDrHwpwXC7TOkhxDin7J6yS6_h4TGyix0yCV1dBb3iOvw&oe654C8515","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/376805996_1404019500149834_1217781044531562420_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc2tTSkS0XpbYAX9RwdzR&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDrHwpwXC7TOkhxDin7J6yS6_h4TGyix0yCV1dBb3iOvw&oe654C8515","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/376805996_1404019500149834_1217781044531562420_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc2tTSkS0XpbYAX9RwdzR&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDrHwpwXC7TOkhxDin7J6yS6_h4TGyix0yCV1dBb3iOvw&oe654C8515"}>span classsbi-screenreader>https://anitamathias.com/2023/09/07/how-to-find-th/span>img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png althttps://anitamathias.com/2023/09/07/how-to-find-the-freedom-of-forgiveness/How to Find the Freedom of ForgivenessLetting go on anger and forgiving is both an emotional transaction & a decision of the will. We discover we cannot command our emotions to forgive and relinquish anger. So how do we find the space and clarity of forgiveness in our mind, spirit & emotions?When tormenting memories surface, our cortisol, adrenaline, blood pressure, and heart rate all rise. It’s good to take a literally quick walk with Jesus, to calm this neurological and physiological storm. And then honestly name these emotions… for feelings buried alive never die.Then, in a process called “the healing of memories,” mentally visualise the painful scene, seeing Christ himself there, his eyes brimming with compassion. Ask Christ to heal the sting, to draw the poison from these memories of experiences. We are caterpillars in a ring of fire, as Martin Luther wrote--unable to rescue ourselves. We need help from above.Accept what happened. What happened, happened. Then, as the Apostle Paul advises, give thanks in everything, though not for everything. Give thanks because God can bring good out of the swindle and the injustice. Ask him to bring magic and beauty from the ashes.If, like the persistent widow Jesus spoke of, you want to pray for justice--that the swindler and the abusers’ characters are revealed, so many are protected, then do so--but first, purify your own life.And now, just forgive. Say aloud, I forgive you for … You are setting a captive free. Yourself. Come alive. Be free. And when memories of deep injuries arise, say: “No. No. Not going there.” Stop repeating the devastating story to yourself or anyone else. Don’t waste your time & emotional energy, nor let yourself be overwhelmed by anger at someone else’s evil actions. Don’t let the past poison today. Refuse to allow reinjury. Deliberately think instead of things noble, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.So keep trying, in obedience, to forgive, to let go of your anger until you suddenly realise that you have forgiven, and can remember past events without agitation. God be with us!>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_18007122145764985 data-date1692476043>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CwI6GvIINBo/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/368124636_115477024957539_1357480671845272666_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcz-TcAlICUi0AX8ynEz_&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCxy_o2AvpVBb65dWyERXv3pORe9P8REuTT9T4hdu0xAQ&oe654CB73F data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/368124636_115477024957539_1357480671845272666_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcz-TcAlICUi0AX8ynEz_&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCxy_o2AvpVBb65dWyERXv3pORe9P8REuTT9T4hdu0xAQ&oe654CB73F","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/368124636_115477024957539_1357480671845272666_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcz-TcAlICUi0AX8ynEz_&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCxy_o2AvpVBb65dWyERXv3pORe9P8REuTT9T4hdu0xAQ&oe654CB73F","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/368124636_115477024957539_1357480671845272666_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcz-TcAlICUi0AX8ynEz_&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCxy_o2AvpVBb65dWyERXv3pORe9P8REuTT9T4hdu0xAQ&oe654CB73F","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/368124636_115477024957539_1357480671845272666_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcz-TcAlICUi0AX8ynEz_&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCxy_o2AvpVBb65dWyERXv3pORe9P8REuTT9T4hdu0xAQ&oe654CB73F"}>span classsbi-screenreader>https://anitamathias.com/2023/08/16/the-silver-coi/span>img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png althttps://anitamathias.com/2023/08/16/the-silver-coin-in-the-mouth-of-a-fish-never-underestimate-god/I've recorded a podcast on how Jesus guided Peter to find the necessary tax money in a fish.The Silver Coin in the Mouth of a Fish. Never Underestimate GodSo the taxman comes for Peter: Does Jesus pay the voluntary,but expected tax for the upkeep of the grand temple and itspriests)? And, as he often does, Jesus asks Peter what he thinks because as a friend, he's interested,and as a brilliant teacher, he wants Peter to think for himself..Sons do not pay tax to their fathers, they both agree. Then, Christ,who repeatedly referred to his powerful bodyas God’s temple on earth, decides to pay temple tax anywayto avoid a skandalon, offence.And Jesus instructs Peter to cast a line and a hook–as amateurfishermen did–insulting for a professional with boats and nets.And Christ again demonstrates that he knows best even in Peter’sone area of professional expertise. And Christ knows best in ourareas of giftedness. His call often involves working just outsideour zone of competence, forcing us to function with the magic ofGod’s spirit and energy. The grain of pride must die for resurrection.And Peter finds silver in a fish. When you lack the money to fulfilthe dream God has placed in your heart, do not rule out Hiswonder-working power. Pray for God’s miraculous provision, orfor Christ’s surprising strategies to create wealth, rather than workyourself to a breakdown, or manipulate or use others to get money.Will God tell us, on request, which fish in the multitudinous seashas swallowed silver? He sometimes might, for he hates waste. Butnot always. Tim Keller writes, “People think if God has calledyou to something, he’s promising you success. But He might becalling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.To work all night and catch nothing, as Peter did, strengthens ourcharacter and endurance so that we are capable of becoming fishers ofhumans, and, if God pleases, sometimes, perhaps even fishers of money.>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_17846922024036020 data-date1691604089>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cvu6_GlIa-7/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/365986743_808137730794834_8158440555972662_n.jpg?_nc_cat108&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc1oY1bokN_zoAX_tS3cW&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfBvajIS1EzubuVyBmnFy9kq3pLPT0j0vII0ct0i-CY4xw&oe654C6859 data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/365986743_808137730794834_8158440555972662_n.jpg?_nc_cat108&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc1oY1bokN_zoAX_tS3cW&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfBvajIS1EzubuVyBmnFy9kq3pLPT0j0vII0ct0i-CY4xw&oe654C6859","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/365986743_808137730794834_8158440555972662_n.jpg?_nc_cat108&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc1oY1bokN_zoAX_tS3cW&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfBvajIS1EzubuVyBmnFy9kq3pLPT0j0vII0ct0i-CY4xw&oe654C6859","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/365986743_808137730794834_8158440555972662_n.jpg?_nc_cat108&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc1oY1bokN_zoAX_tS3cW&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfBvajIS1EzubuVyBmnFy9kq3pLPT0j0vII0ct0i-CY4xw&oe654C6859","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/365986743_808137730794834_8158440555972662_n.jpg?_nc_cat108&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc1oY1bokN_zoAX_tS3cW&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfBvajIS1EzubuVyBmnFy9kq3pLPT0j0vII0ct0i-CY4xw&oe654C6859"}>span classsbi-screenreader>Hi, I've recorded a new podcast. Here's the link. /span>img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png altHi, I've recorded a new podcast. Here's the link. https://anitamathias.com/2023/08/06/following-jesus-is-costly-and-the-very-best-thing-we-can-do/Jesus is blazingly honest about the cost of following him. It’s our most brilliant, golden choice, though it does mean we can no longer follow ourselves. We dance instead to his other-worldly, life-changing music, asking at each transition point of our day or life, “Jesus, what is your assignment? How do I do it your way?” For me (descriptive, not prescriptive), shouldering my cross includes eliminating sugar and starchy carbs (to lose excess weight!), not watching TV (extreme!), keep my house and garden organised and pretty enough. And, also, taming anger and outspokenness! And refusing to sing a song of worry, or linger in anger, training myself to sing instead a song of trust, praise, and gratitude. While following Jesus is electric, and joyful, followingourselves could entail ruining our health with addictive foods, caffeine,overwork, or the siren-call of our phones. Following Jesus does not mean relinquishing our goals and ambitions, but surrendering them to Him. We do not ownour work; God does. And so, we must repent when we overwork, get too intense about success, or try to impress others with it. For competitive cravings for success, fame, money,or popularity wreck relationships, and mental, spiritual, and physical health, and never satisfy, for the ladder of success has no end, and climbing it means exhausting ourselves for nothing. We’re still restless.You have made us for yourself, Oh Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you, St. Augustine wrote. If we do not try to obey the Great Commandment: to love God, and Christ’s second commandment: to love our neighbour as ourselves, we could, one day,open the treasure box of our lives and find only ashes. Nothing!C.S. Lewis: “Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_17896586960776404 data-date1689884864>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cu7r0y0ISX8/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/361928283_1019721129380287_628963847929347317_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc3lwR9VstciUAX_xjJPG&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDPsKyLf3a5K6W2C_IGeZOaTXuYQzN8MzdsNH3V9e63WA&oe654B89D4 data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/361928283_1019721129380287_628963847929347317_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc3lwR9VstciUAX_xjJPG&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDPsKyLf3a5K6W2C_IGeZOaTXuYQzN8MzdsNH3V9e63WA&oe654B89D4","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/361928283_1019721129380287_628963847929347317_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc3lwR9VstciUAX_xjJPG&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDPsKyLf3a5K6W2C_IGeZOaTXuYQzN8MzdsNH3V9e63WA&oe654B89D4","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/361928283_1019721129380287_628963847929347317_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc3lwR9VstciUAX_xjJPG&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDPsKyLf3a5K6W2C_IGeZOaTXuYQzN8MzdsNH3V9e63WA&oe654B89D4","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/361928283_1019721129380287_628963847929347317_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc3lwR9VstciUAX_xjJPG&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfDPsKyLf3a5K6W2C_IGeZOaTXuYQzN8MzdsNH3V9e63WA&oe654B89D4"}>span classsbi-screenreader>https://anitamathias.com/2023/07/19/persistent-pra/span>img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png althttps://anitamathias.com/2023/07/19/persistent-prayer-turns-christs-silence-his-no-and-absolutely-not-to-yes/So, a Syro-Phoenician woman comes to Jesus, crying out,“Lord, have mercy on me. My daughter is suffering terribly.” But Jesus remains silent. Undeterred, she keeps crying out.And Jesus snubs her: “I was sent only to the lostsheep of Israel.” But she can’t believe “No” could behis final word. “Lord, help me,” she says simply. Andthen, a crushing rebuff. “It is not right to takethe children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” But hittingrock bottom makes your prayers strangely powerful. “Yes,it is right, Lord,” she contradicts him, “Even dogs eat crumbsthat fall.” Dogs, hungry, humble, grateful, happy.And Jesus praises her dogged faith which catalyses the miracle she longs for. He says, "Your request is granted.” Never passively accept any apparently intractable situations.Reality is infinitely malleable in the hands of God. We pray,and people change, circumstances change. We change. Sokeep praying until little drops of the kindness of Godsoften and change the impossible situation and your heart. Take your little mustard seed of mountain-moving faith,and pray, seeing the kind Jesus in your mind’s eye.Continue praying, past God’s silence, his “No,” and “Absolutely Not,” until Christ, charmed, says, “Yes. It’s time! Go, girl, go. This way.”Dream big and wide like childless Abraham stepping outside,dazzled by an immensity of stars, and believing God’s powercould give him as many descendants. But don’t waste yourpassion and dream-energy. Pray for things that will bring youjoy, yes, but will also bless myriad others, creating something,in Milton’s phrase, that the world will not willingly let die.Each of Jesus’s prayers were not answered affirmatively; neitherwill each of our requests be granted. We are not wise enoughto know what best to pray for. But prayer, incredibly, does changethings. So keep praying for the shimmering dream which makesyour heart burn and quiver; pray past apparent impossibility untilthe heavens open, the Spirit descends, and you liveand create with God’s spirit energising and filling you.>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_18004364902868627 data-date1688932426>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CufTMWGoLKl/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/358792806_482457077432229_3072819760138294716_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcDSqwXTHXo98AX8uWI--&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfB9tEZ73L_Kl0L11ixPYcoWmtPJr3upPH6Ua10CNdriGA&oe654D4360 data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/358792806_482457077432229_3072819760138294716_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcDSqwXTHXo98AX8uWI--&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfB9tEZ73L_Kl0L11ixPYcoWmtPJr3upPH6Ua10CNdriGA&oe654D4360","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/358792806_482457077432229_3072819760138294716_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcDSqwXTHXo98AX8uWI--&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfB9tEZ73L_Kl0L11ixPYcoWmtPJr3upPH6Ua10CNdriGA&oe654D4360","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/358792806_482457077432229_3072819760138294716_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcDSqwXTHXo98AX8uWI--&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfB9tEZ73L_Kl0L11ixPYcoWmtPJr3upPH6Ua10CNdriGA&oe654D4360","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/358792806_482457077432229_3072819760138294716_n.jpg?_nc_cat111&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohcDSqwXTHXo98AX8uWI--&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfB9tEZ73L_Kl0L11ixPYcoWmtPJr3upPH6Ua10CNdriGA&oe654D4360"}>span classsbi-screenreader>https://anitamathias.com/2023/07/08/grab-christs-h/span>img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png althttps://anitamathias.com/2023/07/08/grab-christs-hand-when-you-are-sinking/LINK in profileHi friends, I’ve recorded a podcast meditation. Pls listen should you have time.Sometimes, the little boat of your life is tossed in the darkness, in a storm-swept lake, far from shore,And a dark figure looms, walking on water, and you cannot see his face, and you do not know his name, and you are terrified.And in the encircling gloom, Christ always speaks the same magnificent words, “Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid.”He comes to us in the darkness, a future that looks bleak, with unsolvable relational difficulties or financial difficulties, or when intellect, energy, and organisation feel puny, matched with our dreams and calling. But it is Christ. Do not be afraid.And Peter, the risk-taker, from an overabundance of love and impulsivity, says, “Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.” And Jesus speaks another of his great words, “Come.”Jesus, the merciful, did not ask Peter to do something that transcended the humanly possible and Peter’s faith, butsince Peter wanted to get to Jesus as quickly as possible, and to do whatever Jesus did, he gives him permission to walk on water.We sometimes yearn to do things for which we know we don’t have the money, time, abundant gifting, or even the character. Never begin them before you’ve prayed, “Lord, tell me to do it.” And if he says, “Come,” start tackling the impossibility, immediately.And Peter walks on water, until he sees the almost visible wind, is afraid, and begins to sink. Fear paralyses, sinks, and destroys.And Peter prays a powerful prayer, “Lord, save me.” And immediately, Jesus reaches out his hand and catches him, scolding, “Oligopistos. You of little faith. Why did you doubt?”And the wind dies down, and Peter learns to keep his eyes on Jesus and his power when he attempts the impossible, and to cry out for Jesus’s help when he begins to sink.Help us, Jesus, you who control the wind and waves, and all things, when we are sinking in the darkness, and all seems impossible. Tell the wind to be quiet.Take my hand, precious Lord. Lead me on. Let me stand.

The finder would joyfully sell everything to buy it, as should we!Jesus speaks of living in the Kingdom of God, living with him as our High King and Lord, as a treasure, worth selling everything we have to gain.He describes it as experiencing peace, joy, and operating in the power of the Holy Spirit.As literally selling everything we have would take time, so too will adjusting our lives to living in Christ's invisible Kingdom.It requires a slow, steady but definite adjustment of each area of our lives: relationships, what we read and watch, consumption and production of social media, travel, leisure, our spending and giving, time spent on food prep and exercise, on prayer and scripture, on reading and the news, on home and garden maintenance, on church activities and volunteering. Some of us will spend less time on these, others will spend more, for we each have a unique shape and calling.Entering into the kingdom of God is a very individual pilgrim's progress; we each have a different starting point. Rick Warren of The Purpose Driven Life suggests that those seeking to change anything change their bodies first, by getting their exercise and diet under control... which is where I am starting!!While following Christ is costly, for sure, it's costlier to follow what Tim Keller called Counterfeit Gods --“money, the seduction of success, the power and the glory,” climbing a cruel ladder which has no end, and never satisfies for long. In a remarkable account, Bill Bright, founder of Cru, describes his surrender to God as abandoning his puny little plans for God's magnificent plans. Once done, he said the future seemed brighter than ever before... And it undoubtedly was! Jesus's promise that the things the unbelieving world chases will added to those who seek his Kingdom first came true in Bright’s life, as it will in ours as we pursue Christ.>/a>/div>/div>div classsbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new sbi_transition idsbi_17980910834198659 data-date1687548025>div classsbi_photo_wrap>a classsbi_photo hrefhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Ct2CqJJoL0y/ target_blank relnoopener nofollow data-full-reshttps://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/355355854_643468297654655_2048821675558822950_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc8KcJE06sX_EAX_CorrZ&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCyIb9hsZZRZCw_qUZa62nZa-mz5nd6X32cNXltx2f2Xw&oe654B786D data-img-src-set{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/355355854_643468297654655_2048821675558822950_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc8KcJE06sX_EAX_CorrZ&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCyIb9hsZZRZCw_qUZa62nZa-mz5nd6X32cNXltx2f2Xw&oe654B786D","150":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/355355854_643468297654655_2048821675558822950_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc8KcJE06sX_EAX_CorrZ&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCyIb9hsZZRZCw_qUZa62nZa-mz5nd6X32cNXltx2f2Xw&oe654B786D","320":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/355355854_643468297654655_2048821675558822950_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc8KcJE06sX_EAX_CorrZ&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCyIb9hsZZRZCw_qUZa62nZa-mz5nd6X32cNXltx2f2Xw&oe654B786D","640":"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/355355854_643468297654655_2048821675558822950_n.jpg?_nc_cat105&ccb1-7&_nc_sidc4dd86&_nc_ohc8KcJE06sX_EAX_CorrZ&_nc_htscontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edmANo9K5cEAAAA&oh00_AfCyIb9hsZZRZCw_qUZa62nZa-mz5nd6X32cNXltx2f2Xw&oe654B786D"}>span classsbi-screenreader>I’ve seen these Pre-Raphaelite paintings in Tate/span>svg classsvg-inline--fa fa-clone fa-w-16 sbi_lightbox_carousel_icon aria-hiddentrue aria-labelClone data-fa-proƒcessed data-prefixfar data-iconclone roleimg xmlnshttp://www.w3.org/2000/svg viewBox0 0 512 512>path fillcurrentColor dM464 0H144c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v48H48c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v320c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h320c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48v-48h48c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48V48c0-26.51-21.49-48-48-48zM362 464H54a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V150a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h42v224c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h224v42a6 6 0 0 1-6 6zm96-96H150a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V54a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h308a6 6 0 0 1 6 6v308a6 6 0 0 1-6 6z>/path>/svg> img decodingasync srchttps://anitamathias.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png altI’ve seen these Pre-Raphaelite paintings in Tate Britain several times, and they delight me each time.
