We continue a brief walk with some material on reconciliation by Walter Wink.
Stories of genuine reconciliation are flashes of the divine in the world’s darkness. They are testimonies of the living presence of God in the lives of people who have refused to let their sufferings dehumanize them.
We do not see reconciliation very often but it is there. Sometimes we may see glimpses or the pathway begin to unfold within our lives…but too often, reconciliation does not follow through to completion. It is a hard road – very necessary for the well being of our life together in the Reign of God. Through reconciliation, that flash of new life streaks through our community and it turns heads…and people begin to wonder if something more than the same-old, same-old might indeed be possible among us.
Connection: Work it…Work it gracefully. Let’s see what can become.
Lord of the Flash Dance of Reconciliation; move us by your Holy Spirit to press on with the loving kindness, justice, peace and mercy that are elements of your reconciling love in action. Amen
