Lockdown Thought — Day 1
Sorry — I can't change the signup form on our website so at the moment you cannot sign up yourself. If you want to receive these daily messages send me an email and I'll sign you up. If you received this Lockdown Thought earlier this morning it means you are already on the list and you don't need to do anything.
The image of God is within us — each one. In this age with its fascination with image, this is the only one that matters. When we are fearful of others, perhaps outraged by them or simply ignorant of their behaviour, it is a sign that we are not yet comfortable with our own difference. It may be we need to find that deep acceptance within before we’re ready to celebrate the face of God in those around us.
May
courage
compassion
and community mindedness
rise among us
overpowering fear and foolhardiness
in this time of lockdown
Christ of community.
