Christ rising in us is not a distant truth but a living reality, often hidden beneath the noise and busyness of our days. When we pause long enough to notice, when we awaken to the presence of God embracing all things, including us, we find our posture shifting. We begin to desire availability rather than activity, surrender rather than striving.
In that moment, our hands stop doing for the sake of doing. They become instruments of God’s dream. The Spirit works through our bodies, our gestures, our patience, our humility, as we discern the unique place we are called to inhabit within God’s vision of love.
And so, throughout the day, we lift up the Body of Christ. In our prayers, in our service, in the smallest acts of compassion, we carry Christ into the world. Our hands, our words, our presence become offerings that raise up the living Christ dwelling among us.
Helping God’s dream come true is not about grand achievements. It is about allowing our life to be woven into the mystery of God’s will. It is about manifesting compassion in the ordinary, and letting our daily “yes” become a quiet hymn of praise to the risen Christ.
So today, consider: how might your hands, your presence, your availability lift up the Body of Christ and help God’s dream unfold?
