Separation seems to be shaping our lives these days. Separation because of the pandemic and because of racial injustice. And yet in Romans 8 we're reminded that nothing "in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God." Perhaps in this uncomfortable space, we're being called to deepen our understanding of God's grace and generosity.
 
By receiving God's unending love, we are able to embrace and reflect that generosity with others. And not just the type of generosity that alleviates suffering for a moment, but the boundary-breaking type of generosity that repairs dignity and gives people the ability to participate in community as equals. "...just  as you did it to one of the least of these...you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40). May we be challenged individually and collectively to respond generously, strengthening our connection with God and each other.
 
Onward!
