JUNE 11th, 2017 An anonymous wag has written that “The American Dream is owning a British sports car, smoking a Ha-vana cigar, and drinking Russian vodka on the French Riviera.” True or not, there is often a contradictory component like that in our dreams. Even though we may not remember them come morning, experts tell us that we all dream. While they may not come true, the castles in the air we might build in our dreams are fine, until you try to move into them when you awake! True, we also have occasional night-mares, which are best forgotten anyway. Here’s a relevant question: Does God dream? Of course, when we speak this way about God, we are us-ing analogy. He must have done so to create this won-drous cosmos. His “dreaming” brought about this real-ity as a gift to our souls and our senses. Part of His “dream” included you and me, as star-tling as that truth may be. He looked upon us after-ward and declared that we too are “good.” He also loves us, which is more remarkable. Even when we as a race failed, through the awful mistake of our first par-ents, that love stayed in place. The Bible tells us that God’s loving wish to save us from the consequences of our sins prompted Him to send us His only Son as our Redeemer. It was this Son Jesus, acting in obedience to His Father, who revealed the true nature of God as a Trinity of Persons. Like all lovers, God wished to be fully known by His beloved. Even if our puny brains cannot ever fully comprehend Him, His love urged Him to tell us the whole truth, to reveal or “pull back the veil” on His true nature. That way, we would not be asked to love someone who isn’t what we imagine. Granted it is easier to understand God’s love for us than it is to understand His nature. The “nightmare” of the cross the Son en-dured is its own testimony. So this weekend, we are not honoring an abstract doctrine, or just another theological proposition among many. We are celebrating a redeeming, refreshing, re-plenishing love from that community of Three who are One. Given without measure to any who receive it with openness of heart. What good news that is! The animal world receives His love, as does all of nature, but with-out the wits to be aware. But we are aware. What a gift that is! You would think that no one in his or her right mind would turn such love down. But then we’re not in our right mind whenever we sin. We’ve been made tempo-rarily insane by the devil to despise God’s opinion. That’s like putting the Adam and Eve story on rewind! But how great Thou art O Lord! You wanted to be fully known by us wayward creatures, despite our limi-tations of mind and heart. Among so many other things, You wanted us to know that “a house down here is made of walls and beams; a home in heaven is built with love and… dreams.” “ Reflection by, Rev. Leonard N. Peterson”
