One of our Christmas Eve readings....
You Are Deeply, Deeply Loved
By John Harvey
On this night of the year, a voice is speaking – can we hear it?
‘I know the cares and the anxious thoughts of your hearts.
I know the hard time you often give yourselves.
I know the hopes and ambitions that you have for yourselves and for others.
I know you doubts, too – even while you seek to express your belief.
On this night, I want to find a way of saying to you:
You are deeply, deeply loved,
just as you are,
forgiven, loved and challenged to be
the very best you can be.
So I’m speaking to you in the only way I know how –
from a stable,
in a child born into poverty,
soon to grow to maturity,
born to show you,
in a human life,
the love of God.’
