NOTES FROM TOM....
Have you ever asked yourself, “If God created all of reality, including everything we cannot see, or hear, or touch, then how can there be things that are not Gods? Isn’t everything God’s?” Have you ever wondered if Jesus is another of God’s ways to tell us that God is love, and that with Jesus God has once and for all time claimed all of reality, and every single life, and every single thing as God’s?
God has been shouting from the roof tops that all of existence, all of life, all that we know and don’t know is holy, is sacred, is wrapped with God’s love and presence and holiness. Yet, we resist. We dare to disagree with God. Why is it so much easier for us to divide reality into that which we think belongs to God and that which does not belong to God?
So, I ask you. How do you decide what belongs to God and what does not belong to God? In light of God’s profound expression of grace-mercy-love-forgiveness how can you apply God’s claim on all of creation, except for which portions did you say? What do you get personally out of denying that everything is sacred, everything is holy, everything belongs to God? Why is it important for you to withhold from God everything God has created and blessed? In doing so what does that make you?
I dare you to begin living your lives with the understanding that all of creation is sacred, that relationships are holy, that sex, and dance, and music, and art, and food, and children, and pets, and work, and sunsets, and protests, and struggles are all gifts from God. What do you think will happen when you open your hearts, and minds, and bodies to God’s claim on you and on everything in this universe? Give it a try—live just one day as a holy person in a sacred space.
“Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee, how great thou art! How great thou art!”
