Trust God

When the ground is swept from beneath our feet, can we, will we trust in God. There is goodness to be beheld even in trouble.

God calls us to welcome the immigrant, the refugee. Jesus was an undocumented refugee as a child. We cannot look away.

Outrage as the only response won’t help anything. How we wait makes a difference. How will we as people of faith wait for the coming of shalom?

God wants everyone to have what they need. No bullying. No intimidation.

Do we want to help others or are we unwilling to build relationships? Jesus invites us to walk a new walk.

Community takes work and can be overwhelming, but God is always present.

When the pain is real, it is hard to hear the promise. Suffering and pain are part of the journey, but if we stay, we will reach Easter.

If only one kiss could solve all the world’s problems. Can we find Joy among war and turmoil and all the weight we carry?

Which parade will you join?

God can do amazing things. New things. God’s Spirit is in us.
