The Reign of God as discovery. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as discovery places in front of us the notion that whatever is about to happen may not be something we have experienced prior to the upcoming moment. This may simply be an act of forgiveness. We are given the opportunity to enter into a relationship in a way that bitterness or hatred or fear or jealousy would have never allowed us to go. The Reign of God as discovery nudges us to find what else is present in the lives of our enemy or those folks we tend to dismiss. We will never know until we venture into God's Reign that invites all to come and be transformed. Who knows what we will discover if all of the sudden, the people we would not greet now become the folks we include in our circle of options - even call friend. We may come to admit that we discovered a new friend - a companion - an ally. O God of love and new life, we are never able to know all that we will become this day. Therefore, we look to be surprised and pulled into a place in which we may be handed a gift through the life of someone we previously rejected and ignored. Give us courage to walk through out own barriers and discover new life. Amen. |
