After 14 or 15 months of looking at God as, today begins a new ride: The Reign of God as - all new. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as all new allows us to take on the day in a way we had not anticipated. Most often, we do that which is in front of us - we act within a certain role - we try to meet certain expectations - we move through the day just as we have and just as we thought we must. The Reign of God as all new is the freedom to take a leap into a life we have not previously considered. Sometimes that is the leap into a relationship when we thought new relationships could never happen. And yet, God walks with us into all of our relationships making them new each day. The Reign of God as all new grows out of forgiveness - complete forgiveness - unearned forgiveness. It becomes the power to step out in a new way because we do not have to feel as though some other power controls us. The Reign of God as all new is new because it is shaped by the love of God - full of surprises - full of a depth of life we often never let ourselves experience. O God of love and new life, help us anticipate your loving presence calling us out into new relationships and new life. Amen. |
