Grace

Walking with God. Seeking Life. What is God?
What does it look like to reflect God? -- Image the divine?
Reflect back grace where there is ungrace.
There are no boxes here, but opened.
God is love, God is truth-teller, speaker of the voiceless.
God is mercy, gives undeserved grace, rains refreshing life down on "good" and "bad"
alike.
God is Life. Where there is life, look for God.
What does it look like to reflect God? -- Image the divine? What is God?
Food for the hungry (all must eat). Water for the thirsty (I'm so thirsty). Clothes for the bare-skinned, comfort to the despairing, hope for the hopeless, strength for the
week...
What does it look like to reflect God? What is God?
Hope in more than this moment. Happiness in more than this fleeting moment. Fulfillment in more than this fleeting fucking moment.
Who is this Hope? Who is this Life? Who is this Living Water? Where can this God be found?
Breaking the cycles of ungrace. Breaking the cycles of entitlement
and judgement. Breaking the cycles of poverty. Breaking the silence. Where is this voice?
Walking with God. Seeking Life. What is God? What does it look like to image the divine?

What about the flaws? the mistakes. the misgivings. the broken trust. the broken promises. the rigid fears of disappointing, of judgment, of anger, of rejection. what about the daily failures? the apathy. the hurt. the impatience. What does it look like to reflect God with these present? Image the divine where there is a broken reflection, and shards, and blood, and anger, and fear...?

God is Life. Walking with God. Seeking Life.
