Playing With God – Quotes of the Week

June 21, 2014 By Jean Wise

healthlyspirituality.org

“I, God, am your playmate.

I will lead the child in you

in wonderful ways

for I have chosen you.”

 

Mechtild of Magdeburg

**********************************************

 

“O God,

that we might dance

with you,

that we might rise

from heavy ground

and play with you

around around.

 

May we let go

Of sterile fear

And jump as freely

As young deer.

 

O God,

That we might trust

Your grace

And leap with joy

In your great embrace.”

 

Edwina Gateley

      I loved both of the quotes and since I tend to think of God as this serious thinking, the idea of delight and playfulness makes me smile and know it is true! Have a great week, Martha!
