With faith we expect God to act with mercy in our lives, as we understand them.
But God’s love exceeds our expectations of mercy, especially what our faith has allowed us to imagine is possible.
The love of God exceeds any theological formula, including this one.
Therefore beloved, let us also act with mercy and love defying our own expectations.
Let us exceed the limits of love we have faithfully imposed on ourselves.
Love everyone as we are loved: beyond understanding.
Amen.
–Fire: Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
