When someone dies
salvation can become
a topic of reflection.
Instead, I think that
salvation is now.
For me to be saved
I need to be saved
from myself:
My selfishness
my controlling
my obsessions
my lack of compassion
my lack of love.
When I am saved
from myself
I can more fully
enter into relationships
with others
and God.
That is the work of a life.
This brings the reign of God
in this life
and the next.

Sometimes, I think that salvation is a given. We mess up and we miss opportunities to thank, forgive or care. But, salvation lies in admitting that this is not the end of the story. There is a resurrection where our generous God will make all things right. Thanks for the reflections.
