Canon Michael's words for Wednesday, 2nd Week of Eastertide
"God so loved the world". Once again we listen into a conversation between Our Blessed Lord and Nicodemus. We are in John chapter 3 verse 16. Perhaps the most oft quoted verse in the Scriptures, and why not!? Here is the very kernel of the Gospel we believe in. The very motivation of God's work is His Love for the World.
If you doubting or worrying or anxious and feeling unloved and unworthy of love turn to John 3:16 and there you discover God's Love for his creation and that means God's love for yourself.
No doubt we will freely acknowledge there is much to condemn in the world and perhaps in ourselves - yet God's motivation is Love.
There we are. Let us too love the world and rejoice in our creator and give God Praise.

My Auntie Tess died this morning. She had been in James Cook hospital and had been diagnosed with the virus. However, she had had a great life for which I give thanks to God. I am sure she is now with the Lord whom she worshipped and adored in this life and enjoying the happiness of heaven.
May she rest in peace. Amen
Canon Michael
