God's Word



Henri Nouwen writes, "the Word of God is always sacramental. In the book of Genesis we are told that God created the world, but in Hebrew the words for 'speaking' and for 'creating' are the same word. Literally translated it means 'God spoke light and light was.' For God, speaking is creating. When we say that God's word is sacred, we are saying God's word is full of God's presence."

"Full of His Presence." What an incredible way to read the Bible this deeply, allowing ourselves to be completely surrounded by him and so letting ourselves be changed and transformed
