We’re tempted to seek revenge or retribution. Or at least to get them before they can get us. But Genesis shifts our focus away from them and back onto our purpose. “I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3) At first glance, this verse appears to tell us to leave revenge to God. But a deeper reading places the emphasis elsewhere—not on those who oppose us, but on the calling God has given us. There will always be people who oppose us. Vigilance is appropriate. But we cannot allow our identities to be defined by them. Our attention belongs elsewhere: on who we are, and on how we are called to bless the world. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When The Right Things Still Go Wrong

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When the Right Things Still Go Wrong Sometimes we do the right things, and get the wrong results. “So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well.” — from Matthew 13:26 Weeds? They hadn’t planted any weeds. Only grain. Yet there they were. Still, they didn’t abandon the field. They didn’t plow it under either. They continued to tend the field, trusting that everything would be sorted at the harvest. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When We Take Time For Deeper Conversations

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When We Make Time for Deeper Conversations When we allow our conversations to go beyond the surface… We grow. Jesus and his disciples “left the crowds and went into the house.” — from Matthew 13:36 They paused their travel. They paused their active service. They made time to reflect, to ask questions, and to gain a deeper understanding. And that prepared them to serve others even better. Deeper conversations deepen our understanding, helping us better love, connect with, and serve the people around us. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When We Write People Off

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When We Write People Off Sometimes we’ve already decided who people are. Who to keep and who to throw away. But the workers in the Gospel parable are told, “Let both of them grow together until the harvest.” — from Matthew 13:30 Our role isn’t to dismiss or discount anyone. Our role is to give everyone the care, attention, and support they need to grow into who they can become. God doesn’t need our help with the sorting. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
