HALO’S Daily Soul Food
Imagine All The People
“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us and the world will be as one.” —John Lennon.
John Lennon is labeled an atheist or, at best, an anti-religious person. His passion for unity and peace was an essential part of his worldview. He spoke and wrote lyrics that spoke of solidarity and world peace that is parallel and weighted with historic spiritual overtones. We don’t know for sure where his influence for world unity and peace grew out of, but his foundation for such is one after God’s own heart.
God of everyone, help me develop a heart-centered desire for world unity and peace like Yours. Where I, too, can help lead Your path forward for unity, justice, and shalom/peace for all Your kids throughout the world.
Imagine all the people in the world praising God and divorced from themselves, striving to ensure that everyone has what they need to survive in this world and the freedom to experience the full grace, mercy, and love of God as they understand God.
Lord, help me dream and aspire to Your kingdom vision for unity, peace, justice, and love for all. Remove from me the extreme selfishness that robs and restricts me of Your will for the world.
Reflection Question: Do you imagine and strive for solidarity and peace for all? When will you broaden your focus from a few to include everyone?
Shalom,
HALO
