More on God as all powerful.
I fall down. Do you? I don't make deadlines. Do you? I say I will do something and
then do not really execute as I said I would. Do you? I say we must love our neighbors
and our enemies and then - well - my love is limited and timed 'just so.' And you?
Then in the midst of all this ordinary way of being me - that is less than what
I say and less than what think or wish - I am pulled forward by a God who promises
to forever be God with me - and God with you. That is a powerful God. To hang out
with loser and less than the best and the foolish and the lame and the despised
and the goof balls and the ones who fall down - takes a power that allow love despite
the things that go on all around us. God as all powerful inspires the one who fumbles
to go ahead and praise and give thanks to God even when other say "what are you
nuts?!?" Remember, God as all powerful is Jesus stopping to heal - stopping to touch
- stopping to engage the lowest and the least. That is power - the kind of power
that is the ground of hope and love and the Reign of God.
O God of love and new life, keep us grounded in your powerful love. Amen.
