People
of God: be glad!
Your
God delights in you,
giving
you joy for sadness
and
turning the dark to light.
Be
strong in hope therefore;
for
your God comes to save.
You
are God’s children.
Lord,
make us one in the love of Christ
today
and for ever.
Amen.
God
delights in you, a child of God.
Up
and down our stairs, you will find photographs of our three children.
Individual shots at comparable ages, as babies, pre-schoolers, first day at
school. Group images, tracking primary schools, recording a skiing holiday. If
you ask, and even if you don’t, I will happily tell you stories of the things
they’ve said and done, that have made me laugh, that have made me proud, that
have driven me to distraction.
I
imagine God doing something similar, cherishing his memories of you, exchanging
stories about you with the angels. I wonder whether you can, too?
