In the breeze

Pa mor hir? Effesiaid 3:18 Dw i am i chi, a phobl Dduw i gyd, ddeall mor aruthrol fawr ydy cariad y Meseia – mae'n lletach, yn hirach, yn uwch ac yn ddyfnach na dim byd arall! Wrth i mi feddwl am sut mae corff Crist yn dangos hyd cariad Duw, fe wnes I gael fy hun yn canu "He ain't Heavy, He's my Brother" gan Yr Hollies. The road is long With a many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. Mae yna bobl wirioneddol rhyfeddol sy’n dewis cychwyn ar lwybr dieithr i helpu i gario brawd mewn angen. Maent yn ildio eu bywydau i wneud bywyd rhywun arall yn well. Dyna weithred o gariad. Yn yr Iseldiroedd yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd, bu Casper ten Boom a’i deulu yn helpu i guddio ac achub tua 800 o Iddwwon cyn iddynt gael eu cofnodi a’u harestio. Roedd Casper yn 84 mlwydd oed ar y pryd a bu fawr 9 diwrnod ar ôl cael ei garcharu. Anfonwyd ei ferched, Corrie a Betsie...

Pa Mor Ddwfn? Blynyddoedd yn ôl, bues yn nofio scuba tra ar ein gwyliau yn Corfu. Ar ôl mwynhau pnawn yn nofio gyda snorcl, fe benderfynom ni fentro ymhellach ac yn ddyfnach i’r môr gan y byddai hynny’n siwr o fod yn well. Ar ôl gwisgo pob dim a neidio i’r dwr, wrth i’r gweddill o’r grwp fynd yn syth lawr i wely’r môr, roeddwn i dal yn arnofio ar yr wyneb. Fe gês i fwy o bwysau ond wnaeth hynny ddim helpu. Rwyf wastad wedi hoffi nofio ond roedd yn amlwg yn fuan nad oes ots pa mor dda oedd yr offer ar y tu allan, doeddwn i ddim wedi fy arfogi ar y tu fewn! Fe wnes i ddal i nofio ar yr wyneb yn gwylio mewn syndod a rhyfeddod wrth i’r bobl hynny oedd yn ddewrach na fi fynd i lefydd na allwn i eu cyrraedd. Effesiaid 3:18 “Dw i am i chi, a phobl Dduw i gyd, ddeall mor aruthrol fawr ydy cariad y Meseia – mae'n lletach, yn hirach, yn uwch ac yn ddyfnach na dim byd arall!” Fel rhan o gorff Crist, mae rhai yn cael eu galw i ddangos dyfnder cariad Duw. Mae’r bobl hyn yn sensitif ac yn gofal...

How long?   Ephesians 3:18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.  As I started contemplating how the body of Christ demonstrates the length of God's love, I found myself humming "He ain't Heavy, He's my Brother" by The Hollies.  The road is long With a many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him.  He ain't heavy, he's my brother. There are truly amazing people that choose to embark on an unknown path to help carry a brother in need. They lay down their lives in pursuit of making the life of another better. What an act of love. In Holland during World War 2, Casper ten Boom and his family helped hide and rescue around 800 Jewish people before they were reported and arrested. Casper was 84 years old at the time, and died after 9 days of imprisonment. His daughters, Corrie and Betsie were sent to Ravens...

How Deep Years ago I went scuba diving while on holiday in Corfu. Having enjoyed an afternoon snorkelling we decided venturing further and deeper into the ocean was sure to be even better. Once kitted out and jumping in the sea, as the rest of the group went straight down to the ocean bed I was still floating on the surface. I was handed more weights but it didn't help. I've always loved swimming but it was soon quite obvious that it didn't matter how well I was equipped on the outside, I simply wasn't equipped on the inside! I continued to swim on the surface watching in awe and wonder as those braver than I explored places I couldn't reach. Ephesians 3:18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.  As part of "the body of Christ" some are called to demonstrate the depth of God's love. These people are sensitive and care deeply. They feel the pain of their fellow man as...

2021 Reflect, Realign/Align and Prepare For many 2020 has been a year of hanging on by a thread. Whether that's due to illness, home schooling children while juggling full-time work, dealing with the worry of paying bills, loneliness, or extra pressures that are taking their toll. Life can be hectic and quite frankly look like a complete mess. This year I believe there is an invitation from heaven to reflect on what's happening in our hearts, and a grace (like a slip-stream that someone else creates and we benefit from) to make the adjustments needed to get us back on track. Please don't read this as a "Must do better! " post as it really isn't. It's a "Wow! You have done so well on this journey. Let me take some of the weight for a while so you can adjust your bag a bit and check your map." So if you're not feeling quite like yourself, are a bit lost or something in what I've written stirs your spirit I've shared some of the thought...
