This week: God as moving on. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . God as moving on continues to come to us from a direction we have not yet anticipate. This God will not be put into a mold and cast into something we can keep for ourselves - like jewelry. God as moving on may also be the God who takes us back over old ground so that we see it with new eyes and come to see how God is able to transform us and yet keep us in touch with all that we have been. God as moving on understands that we have been brutalized or traumatize or misunderstood or been foolish. And yet, all of that is a part of us and all of that must be seen within the grasp of this God who is able to help us move on into new life. To move on, we cannot dismiss what was - but we can remember the presence of this God as moving on who will never let those days of pain overwhelm us. God as moving on is seeking to move us on into days of healing and wholeness and joy even when we still seem to linger deep within the pains of or lives. O God of love and new life, move us on through our pain and empower us to be creative in the midst of all that has tried to dismantle and harm us. Move us on into the knowledge of your presence - eternally. Amen. |
