Weekly Meditation Verse: Psalm 116 “Return oh my soul to your rest.”
Earlier in this Psalm, the writer talks about God’s compassion which reminds me of the lyrics to a song that we often sing at my home church:
“The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
The Lord is good to all,
he has compassion on all that he has made.”
I am often struck by the compassionate nature of our Renew spaces and those who host them; all are welcome – even the more challenging personalities – and as the Renew space continues, there is genuine love for the group that forms over time. I have seen both hosts and regulars go out of their way to help others with an activity or spend time in gentle conversation together. But let’s not forget to rest too, time spent in a Renew space can offer a rest from life’s busyness for both hosts and regulars alike.
