Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Larissa Kwong Abazia
by Rev. Larissa Kwong Abazia
Easter brings the epic love story of God and Creation to the forefront. We know the dark ending of the tomb which becomes a beginning of life and possibility. Yet we cannot settle for what is familiar and comfortable. God’s love challenges us to immerse ourselves in life. Therefore, do not be daunted by the symbols and signs of death. Do not grasp simply at what you know or believe. Trust that God desires an abundant life for everyone and everything. Be a part of this divine, transformational work.
Rev. Larissa Kwong Abazia is the founder of Courageous Spaces and a consultant with Vandersall Collective.
