30.3.23: Inside and outside

The Good Shepherd 19th-century stained glass in the church of St Mary & St Giles in memory of John William Spark, curate of the church. James Yardley.

I’m lying awake with a migraine, which gives me an excellent opportunity to publish today’s blog:

Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us (Colossians 3:11; NLT).

Inside and outside,
Above and below,
Jesus is with us
Wherever we go.

On our left, on our right,
Up ahead, close behind,
Jesus is present,
And he is so kind.

Longing to help us
Find all that we seek,
Jesus is ready
To strengthen the weak.

Guiding us all with his light
And his crook:
Jesus is with us –
If only we look.

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me (Jeremiah 29:13; NLT).
