"Joy comes in the Morning"

Psalm 126        Isaiah 43.16-21    Philippians 3.4b-14    John 12.1-8 
Psaume 126      Esaie 43.16-21    Philippiens 3.4b-14    Jean 12.1-8





It may be the start of 'Passiontide' today, and the journey along the stony Pathway to the Cross, but even as we carry our loads of worries, and the painful wounds from our daily lives, we can remember that there is Resurrection on its way! In the end we will return singing for joy, as the Lord reaps his harvest (Psalm 126). He has made a smooth road through the desert, and shown us where to quench our thirst (Isaiah 43, v.19). God calls us to follow this path, stony then smooth, whatever our worldly troubles (Philippians 3, v.12). It is for us to bring to him our costliest treasure, - ourselves - , just like Mary in Bethany (John 12 v.3). In this way, as he accepts our 'gift' to him, he can pour his transforming love into our hearts, and renew our lives for his Service.
