May our hearts and minds continue to birl away from self and move through the currents of this world, carried by His Word, to the eternal embrace of our Saviour, Christ Jesus.

Time



Time, it is what God wants of us, with us. He created it for us…Time, the sun rising & setting, the tides rolling in at the behest of the moon, the seasons changing ~ all the markings of time.

God doesn’t need time for Himself, He is yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is all for us, His gift to us and He wants to share in our time.

Our world is so fast, so inundated with noise and the clamor of consumption, that we so easily miss the subtle grace of the moment. God is in every moment, but how often we miss Him. There is such Peace at our fingertips when we stop to linger over His Word, when we pause to listen to the joyous ways He speaks to us ~ a child’s laughter, the coo of the birds at dawn, that first morning breeze. He speaks, He calls out to our hearts with His whisperings of Love…now  is our time to listen.

““Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 ~ The Message Version
