God as without cost. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]Well, without cost we are handed the day - go for it - be so bold to take God at
God's word and live as though we start this day as the beloved of God simply because
that is what God hands to us so that we might have life abundantly.
This all made me think - is there no cost - even to God. But then I thought that
forgiveness and mercy and loving-kindness - when they are a part of us - are always
transforming us. Maybe even our God. It is within the story of God's beloved son,
Jesus, we hear that God experiences humanity - not from afar but right in the middle
of the mix. Whenever we are in the middle of the human mix and we live as though
we are residents of God's Reign of love, there will be a cost. So then, this life
of love - handed to us as a gift - offered to us within the power of the Holy Spirit
- will be at a cost to all - all. The cost is the blessed movement from brokenness
to a wholeness that is to be eternal.
O God of love and new life, blessed are you who comes to share with us the fullness
of your Reign within all that is as ordinary as our humanity. Amen.
