Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
* God raised Christ from the dead and seated Christ at
God's right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and
authority and power and dominion.*
—Ephesians 1.20-21
Think Higher Power... then go higher than that.
Imagine the embodiment of God's love,
the divine Presence, God's intimacy,
as the absolute fundament of Creation.
The love that begets you, that walks with you,
the tenderness that feels your wounds and dries your tears,
the noble courage that sees the magnificent in you,
the beauty that unfolds in you as in lilacs and galaxies,
that love that will die for you, and does, over and over,
that love—as the most powerful thing in the universe.
Imagine all our little tragedies gathered up
into those gentle, immense arms,
every sin and every triumph blessed,
every child and every tyrant held
in those tender, wounded hands.
The All of everything, the Is of the universe,
the One of infinite belovedness,
Christ, your Heavenly Lover,
above all and including all
and redeeming all of it. All of it.
Offer wonder, praise and trust.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
