Jacqui’s MeditationWhere are they?I find it irritating when I have dutifully slowed down to 40kph because of a ROADWORK AHEAD sign, but there are actually no men (or women) working on the road. Those signs can be left on the roadside from the day before, or maybe preparing for tomorrow; could be the work men have gone for lunch or morning tea – who knows? In my experience, if there are men working on the road, they are visible – if you can’t see them, it is because they are not there. Can the same be said about God – if you can’t see him, is it because he is not here? No, it does not mean that at all, it simply means we are not looking hard enough. In terrible situations, we have to look for the light that will be shining somewhere. We have seen it during COVID and the recent floods; we have even seen it in eastern Europe; strangers reaching out to help those in need. God is here with us, if you can’t see him, look harder. In fact, you can be the one to shine his light. Lord, we are in troubled times and we pray that we can live in hope and share your love. Amen Jacqui |
