It was good to meet with fellow followers of Jesus this morning. We shared stories, and grief; heard of friends and relatives, and one church member, all who were lost or missing; poured out our hearts to God, and drew on His endless strength.
Let me tell you about the lady I sat next to. The Canterbury Kids' Coach happened to pull up outside her home one day. Her children hopped on board, and soon Mum too was drawn to these caring folk. Her life was a bit of a mess, but she was encouraged to discover for herself life as a Jesus-follower. She knows the love and grace of Jesus in her life - and is starting to memorise songs as she can't read, this summer has successfully grown a few vegetables for the first time in her life, and has secured a part time job. Complete life transformation, so 'text book' she sounds like a made up case study. But this is 100% genuine, and like all of heaven I share the sense of celebration having met one sinner who chose to repent.
Tomorrow we head out on the bus once more, praying for those divine appointments and fresh opportunities to pave the way for Jesus-centred transformation to lighten the silt and despair covered streets of this amazing City.
Too late?
