A great preacher evoked the donkey that carried Jesus to remind us that it’s never about us or the good things we do. It’s simply about God—and living God’s story of love. Hearing all the hoorahs and hosannas, that donkey may have started to feel pretty good. As folks waved palm branches, the donkey probably strutted his stuff and gave a few proud nods at the crowd.
But it’s not about the donkey. We can never forget that we’re just the asses who’ve been corralled to help bring Jesus in. What an honor it is, though, to be part of the cosmic hosanna.

Beautiful Quote by Hafiz
Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me."
Look what happens to a love like that, it lights up the whole sky.
-Hafiz , 14th century Persian poet
