Good Enough

by Belinda van Rensburg

God wants me to be myself For He created me this way,

And since God made me who I am, Myself I'm quite content to stay.

In His eyes I'm good enough - It matters not what others say; I need not act as if I'm tough

Or copy other children's ways.

God doesn't care if I'm not cool - If I'm not stronger; thinner;

In His hands I am a tool To reach out to another sinner.

Though I am still young and small In Jesus Christ I'm strong and tall;

So when people look at me May it be God's own Son they see.

12th April 2015 - Second Sunday of Easter

Thought for the Week “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible;

and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” Saint Francis of Assisi

WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD PLEASE SWITCH OFF YOUR

MOBILE PHONE WHEN ENTERING THE CHURCH

The Church Gate Collection this weekend is for Pieta House

Their vision is to provide suicide and self-harm support services within 100 kilometres of everyone in Ireland. Please give generously.

SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS

John 20:19-31

1) ‘Peace be with you’ was the greeting of Jesus on meeting his frightened

apostles. Who has come to you bringing peace at times when you were

frightened? For whom have you been an agent of peace?

2) Thomas, doubting and questioning, is possibly a person with whom we can

identify. What part have doubting and questioning played on your faith

journey? How has your faith been strengthened by such moments?

3) Note the way Jesus dealt with Thomas. He did not give out because he

doubted. He took him where he was and led him along to see the truth of

his resurrection. Who has been that kind of a teacher for you, gently taking

you where you were and leading you on to a deeper knowledge of some

truth about life? For whom have you been that kind of teacher?

4) ‘Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believed’. That requires great

trust. Perhaps you have had the experience of being trusted without having

had to prove every step along the way. What was it like to be trusted in that

way? Who have you been able to trust in a similar manner?
