God gives Provision: my God will meet all your needs...

‘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.

I’m a parish priest in an urban estate on the outskirts of Manchester and I delight in seeing people come to a mature, personal faith and a vibrant and fulfilling relationship with Jesus that impacts all areas of our life, Monday to Saturday, as well as Sundays.  In my own faith and discipleship, I find the times I hear God’s voice and direction most clearly is when I take time to step aside for quiet days and retreats.  These are especially enjoyable if they include time spent exploring the countryside, travelling, or settled in a cosy café! It’s been a joy to devise and lead Encounter Days and similar events in the past where I have been constantly surprised how God has met each of us uniquely.
