Simplicity of our faith and complexity of life


The simplicity of our faith
is gnarled with the complexities of daily life
Let the worries and difficulties
of relationships and finance
not get in the way
of our central heart shaped window
which looks towards
the faith in our life -
the open window of the freedom of loving God
within the sanctuary place of worship
which lies within each of us

Each of us is a tabernacle of God.
We carry His divine spark within our souls ...
Perhaps that spark has not been fully nurtured
Perhaps that spark has been buried
Perhaps that spark has been extinguished by anguish and the difficulty of life
Perhaps that spark has been killed by lovelessness and cruel actions of others

Nevertheless, that spark is always there
God, waiting to roar His loving Fire of being into a divine flame
within us.

Let each of us
Bow our heads to the great Paternity of God the Father of our souls
and be the best person we were meant to be.
Worthy to have been made
...as Genesis told us ...
made in the Image and Likeness of God ...

What a mystery. And what a privilege.
