The Wonder of the Cross – Day 24 – Needing You
….mostly, when I sit tending the scratches on my ego after yet another encounter in the briar patch of my life, I realise that I am the only one who can do anything about this.

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?
It is in living everyday lives of righteousness and performing acts of unquestioning service that the glory of God is revealed.
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…..’
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.
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.
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?
