But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
A colleague of mine had her five month scan. Her third child is growing within her. We bring our children into the world full of wonder and hope. We wonder what they will get up to? What experiences they will have? What they will achieve? We hope that they will be well, joyful and loved.
When the Creator brought life into the planet we call home, was this full of the same yearning? Initially the hope was that our relationship with the Creator would be enough, and life would be fulfilled. We wanted more, and so we set off one pace from the track. Soon we lost our way, forgetting our birth rite. We stumbled and fell. Battered and broken the Creator picked up us. As with divorce, a wound had occurred. The relationship was marred. But the Creator was not satisfied with this half-life. The error had to be corrected. To know that for life in all it's fullness, you must be 'married again'. The union is freely offered to us again. The marriage costs are covered. All we must say is 'I do'. This is a commitment for a lifetime. It will come into it's own in the next world.
PRAYER: I willingly rush to you, by Lord, saviour and friend.
