God gives Peace: the peace of God will guard your hearts

‘God gives...’ Encountering and receiving from the God of abundance.

In John’s Gospel, Jesus says,

’I have come to give life - life till it overflows.’  (John 10:10)

What an amazing gift, but I wonder… is that the experience of many of us?

Rather than the abundance that Jesus promised, sometimes our own experience is one of scarcity - not enough space, time, energy, enthusiasm, resilience...

Through our encounter days this year, we will be reflecting on how we have a God who gives… gives all that we need to live for him and experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. 

So may we encourage you to make space for time away at Foxhill, whether for a day or a few days, to meet with and receive from the God who gives.

Jim says:

As a father to three primary-aged children and four cats, and a priest in a busy rural parish with three churches and two church schools, 'peace' is not something that often describes my daily, weekly or monthly routine! Yet peace is at the centre of the God we follow, the faith we proclaim and the worship we offer, and is often a gift that we pray for, for ourselves, others and our world. On this Encounter Day we will consider how to receive that gift of peace in the midst of such hectic lives.
