Photo was taken near Wicklow Town, Co.Wicklow (Irl)

This photo reminds us that summer days are approaching. It’s a lovely sight to see a farmer with his dog, walking the cows home to be milked. The backdrop is beautiful with the trees bursting with buds and new life.

‘May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvellous love. May you have the power to understand as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep God’s love really is.’ Ephesians 3:17-18

How would you respond if someone asked are you in love? Would it throw you or would you find it easy to answer? Are we in love with someone, with life, with God? These are key questions but any honest answer can only come from within? Love is a word that is often thrown around wildly and carelessly. It is thrown around so much that we have cheapened its real meaning and value. We hunger for love and we yearn for it. It is the greatest energy in the world but often we search for it in the wrong place. Our prayer today is to acknowledge those whom we love and who are so vital and important in our lives. May our roots go down deep into their soil and also into the soil of God’s marvellous love.
