Isn’t it grand to be so fit that you can jump right over a few people without touching them and even do it backwards AND even do it in the rain!!

The word of God is like a scented garden, delightful and beautiful. It touches our heart, comforts us in sorrow, soothes us in a moment of anger and fills us with eternal joy.’ ~St.John Damascene

Every person has some favourite piece of scripture reading. It may be a line, a verse or a story we have remembered since school, we may have heard it in a church or it may be a piece we have picked for a wedding or a funeral. It meant something to you and importantly it was also the quiet voice of God speaking to you. We can dismiss the word of God as irrelevant, outdated and out of touch. That would be a pity. The world we live in desperately needs a guiding light and some direction. The word of God allows us to move from what’s shallow and empty into something much more meaningful in our lives. Sometimes it’s just a few words we need to hold on to. What is your favourite line or word? Why not hold it close to you today?
