TO LOVE TENDERLY


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “To act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:1-8)


Reflection. To love tenderly is to break down a lot of barriers. If children know,  despite everything, they are loved by their parents they can get through  a lot. If students know that, despite all the shortcomings, they are loved by their teachers they will keep up their efforts. If sick or disabled people know they are loved by their nurses or carers if makes a huge difference to their attitude. Love breaks down so much opposition, opens so many doors.

Prayer. Lord, help us to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with you. Amen
