Thought For The Week

The weather over the past week or so has been so cold with lots of hard frosts. Even the lake all around Gougane Barra in West Cork, froze over during the week. It is not often that this happens and the last time it happened was back in 2010. The weather this weekend changes back to what we are used to, rain and milder weather.
As the ice melts away today with the arrival of mild weather, there is also a spiritual meaning too. We often talk about God’s love and the difference it makes spiritually. The invitation each day is to let the love of God melt away our fears, doubts, negativity and any worries we may be experiencing right now. Just gently allow God’s love to melt you. May you experience the peace and joy that comes from turning and opening to God’s love. Even the coldest parts of our lives can melt away when we turn to God’s love, healing, forgiveness and beautiful blessings.
Even if you are not religious, let something or someone melt the parts of your life that feel cold or frosty. The power of love is really strong and it certainly has the power to melt and transform in ways that go beyond words. That is why spiritually the love of God has got lots of significance and the invitation is to simply allow God’s love to melt you.
