The Reign of God as spilling forth. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as spilling forth is an ongoing eye-opener. It is like the little child who walks or runs or tumbles into the room and all of the sudden - there are smiles. There are smiles because we see it happen or we hear it and for a moment we are transported to another time and place that is really nothing more than the time and place at hand. The Reign of God as spilling forth is the power to transform our hearts. Daily we are given opportunities to walk within God's Reign. It may be the simple act of appreciating the wonder of a toddler or and infant's babblings. It may also be something that spills forth and reminds us of the justice of God's Reign and that this moment is our time to enter into its fullness. It may be a time when we can literally taste the need for forgiveness to Reign - do we enter it - do we resist - do we get all messy as it spills over us? The Reign of God as spilling forth is a joyous engagement with life - all of life. In the middle of that spilling forth, life is see anew and we are given the opportunity to become a part of that newness. O God of love and new life, make us new - make us aware - make us a people wet with your promises that promise to disrupt us and lead us. Amen. |
