As we begin a New Year, let’s draw our attention to the foundations that ground us in our faith journeys. Paul writes to the Corinthian church that “Love is not boastful or arrogant; Love is not puffed up.” As we explore these words, may we become more aware of our tendencies to nurture the tree of knowledge when we choose our fear-based need for certainty, our need to be right, and the driving force to be separate and superior. When we choose to trust True Love, we will experience the grounding wisdom of humility that leads us back to the Tree of Life
