Charlie Mackesy, from his book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Or maybe you felt the gentle help of a fellow human being, an angel sent by God, which brought tears to your eyes. Could they be the same thing?
I felt this earlier in the week, on a day when I felt like I needed a dose of courage to face the road ahead.
Rev. Donna sent me this YouTube song and it immediately boosted my spirits, reminding me of the goodness of God, running after me.
CeCe Winans - Goodness of God (Official Lyric Video)
Because His mercy never fails us, and his goodness is running after us. Always. It ran after me that day, until I stopped, paused, and let the realization of the goodness of God wash over me.
I hope you can join us on Sunday for communion, as he gathers us in, the lost and forsaken, the blind and the lame, the rich and the haughty, the proud and the strong.
May you have the courage to ask for help when you need it and may God's goodness catch you today.
Nor is it only the joy of God and the comfort of God that come at unforeseen times. God’s coming is always unforeseen, I think, and the reason, if I had to guess, is that if he gave us anything much in the way of advance warning, more often than not we would have made ourselves scarce long before he got there. - Frederich Buechner
