Collect

Almighty God, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you: pour your love into our hearts and draw us to yourself, and so bring us at last to your heavenly city where we shall see you face to face; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Today: We Are Family!

The theme of ‘trees’ continues. God’s best for us is that we are planted like trees, by streams of water yielding fruit for him. Psalm 92 tells us we will flourish like the Cedars of Lebanon when we are planted in the house of the Lord, only there will we bear fruit in old age, and stay fresh and green. The challenge to be rooted in God’s family is always a real one, both relationally and spiritually. Let us engage again with the truth that we are a new humanity, ‘no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.’ (Ephesians 2:19-20)
