God in
the beginning
creating fullness
out of nothingness.
God in
the breath
animating life forms
made out of mud.
God in
the garden,
conversing and delegating –
sharing the venture.
God in
the pillar of fire – and the pillar of cloud –
leading the people
from the past to the future.
God in
the mouths of prophets,
calling for renewal
in place of impoverishment.
God in
the flesh,
conceived in a womb,
born as child.
God now in
bone of our bone,
flesh of our flesh,
our intimate companion.
God in
our mess,
sharing our food, sharing our pain,
living in reality
our God-given life.
God in
God’s world,
the way of renewal,
and the means to rebuild.
God in
the word,
the beginning, the middle,
the end.
