The last several months it has been easy to look around and see & hear all that is wrong in our world. Whether through the effects of Covid 19 or the political and social unrest, so many feel discouraged and even scared. It is easier to see the shadow that covers us rather than the light behind it. “The Eternal truth of the Gospel which can never be put out; “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” As it has been said: shadows are only a passing thing. Even darkness must pass and a new day will come, and when the sun shines it will shine out the brighter.
These last several months I have seen God’s hand move in remarkable ways. Our Church’s reach has gone global with our virtual services, we are connecting with thousands here in the mainland and even beyond. As a Priest I have had more in-depth conversations concerning people’s faith journey than any other time in my 25 years of ministry. Thanksgiving week the Food Bank served 235 families while receiving 794 bags of donations. What I am describing is just scratching the surface of the miracles of God. God reaches His people through His people. No matter how much negativity tries to pull us, do not be dragged into the shadows, we must become the light! Remember Jesus said, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
