In Letters Too Large to See

Quote:
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
C. S. Lewis

Texts:

Psalm 33:12-22

Genesis 2:4b-7

1 Corinthians 15:42b-49


This is the story 
of how our Creator has sustained creation, 
having loved the good-but-not-perfect earth, 
of having made it needlessly, 
out of sheer extravagance.


This is the story
of tripping over ourselves trying
to gain power other than that of great love
though we tried to leave it behind
out of arrogance that we could do it ourselves.


This is the story
of falling down, down, down
to earth to realization to humility to fear
realizing our strength lies only in weakness
and our hope at the edge of despair.


This is the story
of redemption and reconciliation
as extravagant as the first day of creation
in which love outpours in abundance
a love which has grown from the beginning of all things.
