I am on the gardening committee in the complex we live in. Lately there has been a bit of discord between the convenor and some of the committee members. The committee is a hierarchical structure and it is the job of the person at the top (the convenor) to liaise with the head gardener to sort out the gardening tasks and priorities. A few of the committee members have decided that it is OK for them to be directing the gardeners and in doing so have caused confusion and angst amongst a flurry of emails. Oh dear, as my mother would have said – ‘little birds in their nests must agree’.
What a contrast between the relationships within the garden committee and our relationship with God. Although he is at the absolute top of the tallest tree, we have all been invited to speak to him any time. Regardless of our position in life, he has issued us with an open invitation.
Lord, you are creator and master of all and we thank you that you are so loving and welcoming towards us.
