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.

Take a moment to imagine Jesus pointing you out in the crowd, calling you by name, and inviting you to follow.

The cross is not just a difficulty or an obstacle, but when carried through suffering to death, IS the pathway to life.

only by recognising one is loved do we at last enter into a truly mature, familial and free relationship with God.

It’s Fathers’ Day today in New Zealand and Australia

In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you
