God is...

The undeconstructable Love 
Which shines as a Light 
In the darkness
Calling us to unfurl 
Beckoning us to grow 
Into our fullest and best selves
Rising out of the dirt and feces
That we have been planted in. 
.
The Light of God 
Shines as the Sun
Or rather in the Son
That we may see clearly and historically
What this ideal of Love looks like embodied. 
.
The clouds of unknowing 
And the storms of Life 
May block the Son’s Light for a time
It may even be eclipsed 
By suffering and death, 
But it always remains as a North Star 
To orient our spiritual and ethical journey
The Hope we forever grow toward 
In this Life and beyond. 
.
God is Life
God is Light
God is Love
God is Logos embodied
Suffering
Dying
Yet risen forever
Who sustains and orients
The direction of our Faith
Faith in justice
Faith in compassion
Faith that there is value
In all our struggles
To make this world the kind of place
Where all can flourish
And grow and unfurl
Into the Light of the Son.

This is a bunch of incoherent babble to make us think hard about our incredible love affair with the God of the universe, our astounding infidelities against God, and God's incredible grace to heal and restore us through Christ.
