Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Trusting is risky. It is much safer and shrewder to trust no one. But to close yourself off in such a way is not good. And to live in such fear and paranoia is, in fact, not living at all -- but is, I would say, the very opposite: dying. So as we heard in the Holy Gospel today, God shares with us, and trusts. And He began by sharing his life with us, entrusting to us His creation. And, well, you know how that turned out. But even then, God does not take this dominion away from them.
