Remaining in his love means going to an unknown land and people, or going to an unfamiliar people or cultures, with discerning and open spirits. When all kinds of cultural boundaries cross, the activity of the Holy Spirit will be manifest. And when we embrace all kinds of unexpected reality, we can then sing a new song to the Lord.
Like a tree which gives up all things, only to then experience new leaves budding, we are standing in our faith, desiring a new song to emerge from our everyday life. We are bound by our limits and daily tasks, but we still hope to sing a new song to the Lord by remaining in his love. In the spirit of discernment and listening, when we dare to cross boundaries and to embrace the strange or the unfamiliar, we can remain in the love of Jesus. And we can make a new song to the Lord.
