A Table in the Presence

Scripture  

Psalm 23:5 (NRSV)  

You prepare a table before me  

in the presence of my enemies;  

You anoint my head with oil;  

my cup overflows.

Refrain  

Even here, I am welcome at the table.

Quote

Henri Nouwen, from Life of the Beloved  

“The world says, ‘Prove that you are worth something—fight, climb, earn.’  

But the Voice of God says something else:  

‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.  

You are My Beloved.  

Not because you have proven yourself,  

but because you are Mine.’  

At the table of grace, there is no competition.  

Only communion.”
