All expansive God,
there is no corner or crag
hidden from your care and love.
Help us to live open and expansive lives
welcoming in all that would come our way,
seeking out your will,
and all that would help us to live
as you have called us to live,
for that is the example you have given us.

Psalm 36: 5-6
God’s love is meteoric,
His love astronomic,
His purpose titanic,
His verdicts oceanic.
Yet is His largeness
nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.

2 Corinthians 6: 11-13
Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plain as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!
