Thanks for loving us!

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

(1 Corinthians 13: 4-7)

This month we are turning our eyes to heaven and shouting out: Thanks a million!

Thanks for loving us and for going on loving us!

Thank you for showing us what love is and what love can do.

Thank you for coming among us, Emmanuel — God With Us — to embody the timeless power of love.

Thank you for the love that inspires us, rewards us and sustains us through all the world throws at us!

Thank you God!

Thanks a million!

We are only able to love because God first loved us — loved us into our very being!

Thank you God for making us in your image and imbuing us with all the divine love you have invested in us!

May your love inspire us on and on to love.

God’s love, simultaneously huge, vast, unfathomable and sensitive, personalised, and

caring — is incredibly rewarding. It doesn’t reward the way a high paying job advert might claim. There’s

no annual bonus or access to an influential VIP circle. The salary is zero and no velvet ropes are going to

be lifted aside. But here’s the thing: you’re already a VIP and all the riches in the world can’t compare to

the rewards of God’s eternal love…

We are never forgotten, cast aside or diminished by God. Love always notices, cherishes

and builds up. God does not promise us lives free from pain or adversity, what God does promise is

endless love throughout everything.

Faster than a freight train, as immovable as a mountain, bigger than the moon but able to

fit in the tiniest gaps. It’s love. The most powerful force in the universe.
