Urban Pantry is a Restaurant in Singapore which has a very unique way of advertising their food. They do not describe their cooking by reference to smell, taste or presentation, sight. Instead, they have a tag-line. It consists of only three words: "Love. Made fresh." Their poster shows a young couple totally engrossed with each other, enjoying a meal. I was fascinated when I first saw it. Now, if I've made all of you hungry, that is not my point!
The Psalms speak of high praise of God, of thanksgiving in His temple, etc. but all these would be absolutely meaningless if we do not speak of God with love, for God IS love. So much did He love us that He sent His only Son to us. And His Son is the one who emptied himself,
"taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men."
and that is why St. Paul writes,
"That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth."
Phil 2: 6 - 10
So, let us ask ourselves a fundamental question: Does our love for God have a freshness to it? Does it have an aroma, a sweetness all of its own? Does it spring forth ever new, ever fresh, &, if we wish, ever tasty? Does God excite us? Are we passionate about Him?
So let us be filled with love this evening, and as we think of the many ways we love Him, let us together, hunger for the Lord, for He is Love. With these thoughts in mind, let us turn to our prayers.
