The Reign of God as a light being turned on. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as a light being turned on so that we are able to see everything. We see the God whose love eternally abides with us. We see any other power that attempts to be the power that will rule us. We see the possibility to dance without fear of judgment and condemnation. We see opportunities to realize the life Go sees in us and nurtures by calling us Beloved. The Reign of God as a light being turned on is the power to change the next moment and those that follow. I find it interesting that when a light goes on, everything is exposed - or maybe we scramble to hide that which fear will be seen by others. But in this Reign, that which is exposed by the light is part of the movement within God's Reign. Yes, now we see who we are a bit more clearly, but we also see the life that God places in front of us. This is a life not dependent or run down or pulled down but what was of our own creating. For now and for always, we can see God's image shining around us and in us. O God of love and new life, as we are often caught up in what has already taken place, we are slow to move into your loving Reign. So pull us again by your Spirit - into the brilliance of your presence. Amen. |
