I met my line manager this week in London. His message to me... "Chill."
Most of the time I am quite chilled but every now and again, I do wonder what I'm doing. Happily, I'm not responsible for LE - well, I AM responsible for doing the bits I can, but I can only do them because God equips me and it's good to remember that sometimes.
LE is is a GOD event - I hope this year's week will also be enjoyed as a good event, and one from which we can all take a little more of God's love, grace, peace and forgiveness back to our communities, whether little rural hamlets or major cities.
I'm praying already that we'll be agents of change in our world - Lord knows we need it!
In around 6 weeks we'll celebrate Easter, an event unparallelled in human history, when the God of Creation, far beyond our most imaginative imaginings, made the move to set us free from all the rubbish this existance brings. Wouldn't it be amazing if each one of us, came to LE this year with a story of something small, where being Christ in our own place made a difference?
Let's undertake to pray that God will use LE to challenge and equip us as individuals, as Baptist community and as His church to fulfil His purposes.
Shalom
