The Church of the South Pacific |
This week, my devotional readings are all about the creativity of Celtic Christians and their fondness for storytelling and poetry. As many of you will know, this is an area close to my heart as I greatly value the power of story and imagination and the beauty of language.
I thought that, to begin this week, I'd share a piece of my own writing with a spiritual meaning. It's a poem based on an exposition I once heard of the parable of the mustard seed. Mustard Wrote:Darkness surrounds them, like smothering arms, The idea is that faith in Christ, sometimes slowly and subtly, sometimes in a sudden rush, always like a steadily growing plant, breaks through the darkness of lives imprisoned within sin to set us free. It would be wonderful if others felt like sharing some of their own work touching on faith this week, even if you think it might be more challenging. Anyone is free to contribute here, so long as it remains a safe space for people to do so. What do creativity and imagination mean to you? Are they important? Do they help you to transcend the mundane and, if so, do they help you to understand God a little?
