The incarnating disciplines open us to God’s heart. They invite us to participate in God’s kingdom agenda: his love of justice, his concern for the poor and the oppressed, the widow and the orphan. The I disciplines are ways we express our faith, hope and love in the midst of a selfish, entitlement world. Incarnation took Jesus to the last breath of self-donating love. And if we intend to follow him, we can expect that truly “loving our neighbor as ourselves” will take us to depths of self-donating love. In those depths we are in the heart of worship.
“This land that gives us our food, our water; these trees that clean the air for us to breathe; all these green and growing things that bless our bodies with their beauty—these are not resources. They are fellow creatures, with their own rights and responsibilities before God. They have their own sacred duties to perform, if only we will let them.” —Barbara Brown Taylor
