Creating
God
When
we presume to know
may
we throw our nets out on the other side
When
we presume to know what is best for you
when
we presume to know we have answers and understanding
when
we presume to know…
surprise
us
or
may we be surprised
at
your breadth
surprised
enough to allow the word God to be bigger
the
path of belief to be broader
the
welcome of the church more generous
the
agenda of faith is more social
the
justice of heaven more political
the
people of God more compassionate
It’s
a dangerous place to throw that net
on
the other side
It’s
not where we normally find ourselves
we
have less experience
it
goes against our habits
its
outside our comfort zones
it
moves against the traditions
but
there we find the edge of the kingdom
on
the alternative side
where
the adventure is
where
the questions as asked
where
growth is possible
May
we
in
faith
in
trust
dare
to throw
not
the net
but
ourselves
onto
and into the places
where
resurrection dares to meet us
and
the spirit of Christ
finds
us
surprised
by
faith
renewed
by
trust
and
hungry
for
Good News
So be it
