wow

at DGB (discipleship grow band) last night, a few things struck me. not least the story about a father and daughter I know. the daughter had followed mother out of the meeting one sunday morning, and came back alone and crying. she went streight for the row of chairs that father was sitting in, and crawled streight under the chairs to come out just where he was. still bawling, she then crawled onto his lap. neither said anything, just sat there. father put his arms round daughter and it was enough.
God's like that. if we're in a state, we dont have to say anything to him, we can just sit in his 'lap' and bawl our eyes out. He'll put his arms round us and give us comfort, but nothing needs to be said.

We were also talking about what we would do if we really really love God. we had to write them down, and also write down things we would do for 2 other people we dont always get on with, that we would do for them if we loved them. the challenge; to go and do them.
