Description
Poem: New things
When there are far more days behind us
than there can possibly be in front of us,
there is a tendency to want to look back
to the safety of the known
and to leave the unknown future
as a mystery.
God’s pilgrim people
have often faltered
as they faced the challenge
of new horizons...
Continues
unfamiliar people
and the prospect of adapting
to a different way of living.
Yet the God who calls us to follow him
also urges us not to cling to the past.
We learn from it,
but must not be bound by it.
Our pilgrim God moves on
to newness and renewal,
constantly pushing the boundaries of our faith,
as we are directed into different ways
of showing the care and compassion
that is at the core of our commitment.
It is a life-long journey.
