  • You are always there

    In the waiting
    In the watching
    When I find myself searching
    For the reasons why
    You are there
    You are everywhere
    In the stillness
    In the quiet
    In the moments of everyday
    In the small details and in the big
    You are there
    You are always there
    In the darkest days of life
    When I cannot see the way ahead
    When I feel hopeless and useless
    And my heart is overwhelmed
    You are there
    You are always there
    Your presence invades
    Your presence sustains
    Your presence surrounds
    Every fabric of my being
    From the depths of the ocean
    To the seashore
    From the highest of mountains
    To the deepest of valleys
    Your love is like a beacon
    It soothes my soul
    You are there
    You are here
    You are near
    You are everywhere
    In the spoken
    In the unseen
    In the beauty of the whole of creation
    You have made me
    To be like you
    To be an image bearer
    To the world around me
    To reflect your glory
    To share the story
    Of the one who died on a cross for me
    You are here
    You are there
    Always the same
    Yesterday, today and forever
    For all of eternity
    You are near
    You are here
    You are always there
    You are everywhere

  • Here for a reason


    “We are here for a reason, conceived in love, brought into being by the One who brought the universe into being, who knows our innermost thoughts, values our good intentions, and has more faith in us than we have in ourselves. That, if only we mediate on it, gives us the strength to turn intention into deed, lifting us from the person we might have been into the person we become.”

    Rabbi Jonathon Sacks, author of “Genesis: The book of beginnings. Covenant and conversation”
