This week: God as beyond words. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . When words fail - touch and presence and being in the same room can revive us. God as beyond words is the God who becomes life rather than becomes more words. More and more words can and do come quite easily. Recently I heard someone talk wonderfully about how their were caught up in a new sense of spirituality that seemed to be giving him new insights. As an observer, the words are just words. He sounds and looks and reacts just he always did. Fingers still point, judgments against others persist, and the world of 'us verses them' is still the power of life or him. Words are wonderful cover. Words keep our hearts hidden and put forward fine dreams without making the dreams real. God as beyond words are the hopes and dreams of a new life and a new world that simply come alive and make heads turn because that life is so alien and wonder-filled. O God of love and new life, please help that love and life show in, with, and under all that we are. Amen. |
