Water for the Journey

As we travel the road of life together, the following words offer us living water for the journey . . .

We believe in the Inventor of Life,
   The earth maker, the star lighter, the sun shiner,
   The world shaper, the journey-giver
Calling forth life out of nothing with words of belonging.
          We believe in the Creator.

We believe in the risen Jesus,
   The cross bearer, the self-denier, the death-defier,
   The story-maker, the journey-teacher
Embracing resurrection as the first-born from death.
          We believe in the Savior.

We believe in the Easter Spirit,
   The life-giver, the breath bringer, the passion-builder,
   The church birther, the journey-sustainer
Enabling communion with Jesus the Living One.
          We believe in the Helper.

We believe in the God of Life,
   World-maker, cross bearer, life-giver,
          Journey-lover
Trinity of hope leading creation to its full purpose.
          We believe in God.
