Does
God change? Has God changed over the past
5000 years? The past 50,000 years? I do not know.
Does
God grow? As the universe expands in all
directions at the speed of light, as countless manifestations of creation grow,
and new ones are born, hatched and sprout – and die – every second, does God
grow? I do not know, except by faith.
Does the Holy Spirit of life – not the laws of physics,
chemistry, gravity, and thermodynamics, but that part of God which we believe
is within, and accessible to, each human being – grow? As long as we grow, particularly as long as
we strive to increase the expression and experience of love in the world and to
appreciate and honor the love and compassion in others, how could the Holy
Spirit we strive to serve not grow?
