departure

Apr 28, 2012

My Lord God,

I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know for certain where it will end….

Nor do I really know myself,

and the fact that I think I am following your will

does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you,

does in fact please you.

And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this,

You will lead me by the right road, though

I may know nothing about it.

Therefore will I trust you always though

I may seem lost in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me,

and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Today we mark 183 years since the first signatures were put to the Treaty of Waitangi

I’m in Auckland this week offering sessions for anyone who is interested. I hope to see you. Share the word and bring a friend.

The discipline of daily writing keeps me alert to the presence and action of Jesus in my life every day.

If the Magi had settled for seeking creature comforts, they would never have encountered the Lord.

A faith that is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ is adult and mature. It is this friendship that opens us up to all that is good
