God
has many names and descriptions. Today
it seems enough to describe God as whatever one believes to be the Source of
love and grace and meaning.
All
the evidence I need to sustain my faith that God is present is that we gather
to seek God together, including in each other; to encourage, and to try to inspire,
each other; and to strive to live up to that of God in each other, in our
ancestors, and in our children.
Each
of us is called to be an agent, a messenger, an emissary of God. We may sometimes think that we cannot find
God – or that God is neglecting us, or has even abandoned us. We may feel sometimes like astronauts in space
who have lost our connection to Mission Control. But it becomes apparent, when we simply do
our best as emissaries of love and peace, as agents of grace, that God is
always present for, and in, everyone who does so.
