God as invitation. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]God as invitation is always an invitation into the life of a community. The community
will have a particular character to it. If God as invitation was only an invitation
for me to be in relationship with God - where would that go? But if the relationship
with God transforms my life by putting me in relationship with others - just as
I am relationship with God - the world may change around us. God as invitation will
shape the way we take part in the life of the day at hand. As God takes me in and
holds me and nurtures in me a love for others as I am loved by God, I may begin
to interact with the world around me as though I am always being invited by God
to be a part of God's loving character. Knowing that my own character is often far
from the loving embrace of our God, it is good to know that God is still inviting
me out of my past and into a new way to live - now and forevermore.
O God of love and new life, change the day and change us all. Bring your Reign of
peace among us. Amen.
