Prayer: Your love for us lasts forever, Lord. May we embrace it and share it. Amen
Reading: I Peter 1: 17-23 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: As you shop, do you check the shelf life or “use by” date stamped on a product? Some are extended into the next year…maybe 12 months or more. Perhaps you wonder, “How can this be?” We have a 64 year old refrigerator in our basement. About a year ago, in an emergency, we plugged it in and it still worked! Again, "How can this be?” All through our lives there are things that are perishable. There are also things that are precious that will last forever. This is true of God’s love for us. It is our most precious possession and will not perish. God's love does not have a shelf life. It is ours forever. However, while it may last forever on the shelf, don't leave it there. Embrace it. Share it. -- Alice Yeakel
