Peter W_ introduced Amanda B_ by explaining that she had come prepared to contribute, having woken in the night and written down the words she felt the Lord was wanting to say to us this morning, a love letter from the Father:
My Children my Children how I love you!
Everyone of you is precious to me, from the unborn to the eldest.
I love you with a passion you will not understand.
I know you, nothing is hiden from me.
Even the secret things you hide from yourselves.
Come to me, give me all that no longer belongs to you.
Give me the things my Son paid for with His blood and death.
Lay at the foot of the cross, your sorrows, doubts and fear.
Your loneliness grief and dissapiontment.
All your regrets and sickness.
They are no longer yours but mine.
My heart yearns for you, my arms are open to you.
Take up my yoke, it is light and fits you like a glove.
It is made for you and you are made for it.
I love you.
Since before time began I have loved you.
Forever I will love you.
I will never leave you or let you down.
I Am forever faithful."
Love from your Dad xxx
Denise shared a vivid mental picture that came to her as we were singing, of Lazarus coming out of the tomb still covered in the grave clothes. The clothes were binding him, he couldn't take them off. Denise felt we needed to take off those things that are binding us, to take the grave clothes off and face Jesus this morning.
Katia had been reading in Genesis this week and in the story of Jacob he receives from God an invitation to build an altar - he has a new encounter with God. Katia reminded us that God is living and inviting us to a new encounter - inviting us to let go of the dead, bury the dead, and to come to a new encounter with the Living One.
