Exodus 12: 37-42, Ps. 136, Matthew 12: 14-21

Gentle background service

Here is a picture of someone who is loved and who is gentle with others when meeting their needs. Bringing the truth to victory is a battle in today’s popular culture. Yet it must be done. Allowing the truth room to grow in my own heart and in the hearts of those I love is a gentle counter-cultural activity. Recognising and nurturing the truth in the crushed and smouldering hearts of others will be possible for me when I learn to be gentle with myself and my failings.
