Everlasting Love
The Lord has spoken to you in the past saying “I have loved you with an everlasting love: I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. I will build you up again. Jeremiah 31:3-4
The Angels look so beautiful blowing in the wind and there was a real stillness peace at the church today as I was watching them blow around in the gentle cold wind.
Available in the porch ready to hang on the tree there are hearts to hang with “You are loved “on them.
Take one of the hearts. As you hold it remember the name of someone who needs to be restored, physically, mentally, or spiritually.
Ask God to wrap them in his everlasting love. Now place your heart on the tree in the church yard .
This God called love reaches us into the deepest parts of us, definitively answering questions that continues to haunt us …..what does God really think of me? Would he still really love me if he know me? Am I good enough, strong enough, smart enough ….for his love penetrates the wall we thought was protecting us … the great sadness, the darkest part of us ….the broken pieces of our heart that have diminished us. The great “I am” is coming to take all of our ” I am nots” and redefining them in his divine embrace …
This song Pieces says it all …
PIECES
unreserved, unrestrained
your love is wild
your love is wild for me
it isn’t shy, it’s unashamed
your love is proud
to be seen with me
You don’t give your heart in pieces
you don’t hide your love to tease us
uncontrolled, uncontained
your love is a fire
burning bright for me
its not a spark
it’s not just a flame
your love is a light
That all the world to see
You don’t give your heart in pieces
you don’t hide your love to tease us
Your love is not fractured
its not a trouble mind
it isn’t anxious
it’s not the restless kind
your love not passive
it’s never disengaged
it’s always present
it hangs on every word we say .
love keeps its promises
it keeps its word
it honours what’s scared
cause it’s vows are good
Your love’s not broken
it’s not insecure our love’s not selfish your love is pure.
( song Pieces by Bethel music )
News in the village
In these times we can feel lonely and have no one to talk to.
As you walk round the village and notice empty spaces and empty benches or may be sitting alone at home isolated with no one to talk to.
We can get caught up with fear and lack of hope.
But God asks us to be courageous and know that we are not alone since he, our Lord our God is always with you.
Deuteronomy 31 v 6
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me: for I am desolate and afflicted Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and distressed .
Psalm 25 v16
