The Wonder of the Cross – Day 37 – Wednesday in Holy Week – Turn Your Eyes
Cherished by the One we cherish we are transformed and enabled to love the unlovely with the same love which turned our inner beast into beauty.

…I for one am letting
All my walls fall down
In this place of safety
This child has finally found
I really do hope that, however God made the world, God did not just speak words but sang as well!
The power of Hannah, Mary, Vicky, and even me should not be only about foot-stamping and fist-clenching. This power is a power that is manifested through the renunciation of power. Strength, as we learnt yesterday, being made perfect through weakness.
Let Your blood cover me
Wash me white and set me free
Let Your blood make me clean
Today….
Is it true that we, particularly if we are one of the Abrahamic Faiths committed to Shalom, Salaam, Peace are the reason for so much mayhem, murder and massacre?
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!
Before the service, speak to God;
During the service, allow God to speak to you;
After the service, speak to one another…
Love, thou didst enter very softly in
To hold this heart of mine.
No sound, no stir, no sign!
How couldst thou cross my threshold all unseen?
Just as Jesus is proclaimed to be the light to the nations, so we are called to be his light bearers.
Just as Jesus came into the world to set us free from our petty divisions and hatreds, so we are called to be the standard bearers of peace for the world around us.
