This week: God as 'coming through the door'. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as 'coming through the door' doesn't wait for an invitation. This is the God who embraces us before we ask for a hug. This is the God who runs out to the long lost child and is in the middle of throwing a welcome home party even before the child has had the chance to set up some kind of reason for coming home. God as 'coming through the door' is setting up our future that God already rules. You could say therefore, that the room in which we find ourselves is already a part of God's rule - God's domain - God's home that has many rooms. God as 'coming through the door' is the first one to greet us in life and the first to hold us in death. There is movement before we move - there is promise before we promise to be this or that. God as 'coming through the door' lets the wind of the day blow into our lives and carry us into a life we may not have considered - a life of love and hope and mercy and joy. O God of love and new life, thank you for whatever will come into this day. You hold the future in your hands and always invite us to join you there. Thanks be to God. Amen. |
