Verse of the day

But Moses said to God, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” He said further, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
Exodus 3:13-14

Voice of the day

God is too large to be contained by human language, gender binaries, or even a single person’s experience. Even if we took the sum of every person’s experience and blanketed the cosmos with the truth of human existence from the beginning until now, it would only reveal a sliver of who God is.

Taj M. Smith, “God Created Me To Be a Transgender Man”

Prayer of the day

We will never understand the fullness of your being, Lord God, yet we know that your image is reflected in all of us. May we see you, and ourselves, beyond the binaries we have constructed.
