Reflection: Sunday 21st June - The Third Sunday after Trinity - and for the week ahead:
Scripture:Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground unperceived by your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. ‘Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven. (Matthew 10:29-33)
Reflection:
Did you hear Jesus words – when speaking about God knowing every sparrow, and you being of more value to God than many sparrows? “Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father.” Everyone! You! Jesus will acknowledge you when he speaks to his Father! Awesome!
So, when was the last time you acknowledged Jesus?! Knowing that God, that Jesus, loves you should make a huge difference in your life. We should all be so joyful about that – that God knows us, loves us, and cares about us! Perhaps you have acknowledged that in your prayers – which is great - but we also need to live with God in our daily lives. And also share that, so others can know the joy of relationship with God too! (We should also take heed of the warning in the last verse.)
