The Wonder of the Cross – Day 21 – Only Your Love
Do you ever find yourself in places like this? Hiding from love for fear of revealing our fear or for shame of showing our shame? I do.

Perhaps what demands most will power is the resolution to cease from our own works, our own busy-ness, and to stay our minds upon our God.
It does not matter where we, or those close to us, have met the generous love of our Beloved, it only matters that with us He may find a place where he can ‘Lay down His sweet head…..’
Do you sometimes say in your heart, ‘So-and-so is very hard to put up with’? If God puts up with us we ought also to put up with one another.
Travelling towards Easter, and Lent can get a bit messy so we may want it to be done with. In reality the end of Lent is not so much about playing a Finale but singing an Overture.
If we seem to receive a stone when we pray today, let us rejoice, for we know the blessed secret of the rock and the flint.
Let us turn to our Father. Then, though our questions may not be answered… we shall surely hear in the depths of our hearts good and comfortable words.
Yes, I like the idea of a life of riding peacefully at anchor
Yes, I look forward to, like the weaned child of Psalm 131, having a soul at peace.
No, I’m not at all sure I want our Beloved to be in complete control of my life!
… joy of joys we discover, along with Vicky, that sometimes what we thought was broken was beautiful all along. And this has been so since our beloved breathed the Breath of Life into us.
Whether it is rain or sunshine for us today, let us begin our song with thanksgiving.
