God as new day. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]I think an empty tomb that was supposed to be filled with death is a new day. I
also think that women being the first and primary and only witnesses in sight of
the tomb (in a world that still wants men to be the 'one and only' witnesses) is
a new day. I think the followers of Jesus who are unafraid to talk and live with
people not following the same one we call Lord, Jesus, is a new day. In other words
- it is a new day and our God of grace is constantly opening up our lives to bring
about the amazing creative power of God that is still unfolding all around us. God
as new day is resurrection that leaves doors open and lives free to move in and
through all times and all places without being ruled by fear and anxiety. God as
new day is being able to dream dreams that are beyond our expectations and to also
see visions that draw into question what we usually see and allow us to envision
that which is not yet clearly available. God as new day is an openness that right
now may befuddle us and yet may become a part of the center of our lives. That is
an amazing new day.
O God of love and new life, there is more to see and more to hear and more to touch
and more ways to experience a love that promises not to let us go. Open our hearts
to take it all in. Amen.
