This week: God as infant. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . God as infant draws us in. We are handed the future as it always is - vulnerable and in need of an open hand - available and in need of community. God as infant is always calling for more people to be at hand attending to the possibility of life that among us. God as infant longs to give life and to receive life. There is no one way exchange. As we take into our hands this power of God that is as an infant, it is up to us to see to its well-being. At the same time, in taking up the well-being of the other, we are grasped by the tenderness of our God who shows us the wonder and the unexpected joy that comes as we are drawn toward one another. God as infant puts us at the edge of what it is to be human - the need for gentleness, kindness in touch, responsible care, and utter devotion to the safety of the other. O God of love and new life, call us into relationships of joy that come as we entertain your presence among us. Amen. |
