A Message from our Pastor
16th January 2025
One of my daughters used to love hiding inside clothes rails as a little girl. I remember a time when I spent ages looking for her in our local supermarket. We were by the fresh fruit and vegetables, and before I managed to put a few things in the trolley she was gone. I looked for her everywhere, walking up and down every aisle in absolute despair. I kept calling out her name and wondering what to do next. Eventually, I found her hiding in the middle of a circular clothes rail. I could see her little feet poking out of the bottom of the clothes. I was close to tears, but absolutely thrilled to have found her.
This is how God searches for us. Sometimes we try to get away and hide from Him; sometimes we simply aren’t aware of his presence; but His desire is to always have us by His side. He calls our names relentlessly, to offer us a chance to come close to Him.
In the book of Isaiah, chapter 43 God says to His people, ‘I have called you by name; you are Mine!’
What a privilege it is to know that we are known, loved and called by God.
