Our Father Is Younger Than We…
January 9, 2013 2 Comments
Grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.
~ GK Chesterton
About Fr Stephen Smuts
And so, weigh down by the ‘monotony of sin’, we grow old, plucking-away at the youthful daisies: ‘HE loves me, HE loves me not; HE loves me, HE loves me not; HE LOVES ME! God’s Love is always breaking-through to us…eternally young–by way of HIS “exultant monotony”!
But are we to be found?…in HIS Simplicity…untethered from our complexities?!
