An unknown author had this beautiful reflection on what God is doing to us entitled, That's God. Here is some of what he says: "Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for? That's God! He talks to you through the Holy Spirit. Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to? That's God! He wants you to talk to Him. Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for? That's God! He knows the desire of your heart."

Our God loves us beyond our understanding, imagination, expectation or deserve. He loves us because he is love and all he does flows from love, no matter our state of being. His love doesn't depend upon us. It is pure gift. We know that in faith, even though we may sometimes question his love. His love is manifested in many ways. But one that is most striking is found in today's Reading from the prophet Isaiah: "Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you." Why? That's God!
