Helpful, wide-ranging prayer from Nicky Gimbel, via the reading plan on YouVersion Bible app.

Lord, thank you that you love me and have given me freedom.

Help me not to use my freedom to wander away, to sin or to withhold forgiveness.

Rather, help me to love, to search for the lost and to have mercy.

Help me not to cause suffering but rather to give my life, following the example of Jesus, for the relief of suffering.

Liquid prep for blog on transformation

This spring, I plan to write a post or posts on 'transformation'.

The late Kathleen Davey, wife of Corrymeela founder Ray, wrote poetry and some times spoke with me about 'the gossamer thin veil'.  I didn't have that many conversations with Ray and Kathleen - but time spent with each of them increasingly seems precious and significant.

Googling the veil, I found an extract from Listening for the Heartbeat of God: A Celtic Sprirtuality , the book only available 'used' it appears.

I want to weave some of George MacLeod's perspective into my writing (well, life really!).  I'll read around some more... and... am up for a coffee or Jura around Belfast/Holywood with one or two people who have an hour to kick around ideas on transformation as related to this sort of material.

Please message me on Facebook / Twitter if you'd like a drink and conversation.
