Good Morning All and Welcome to Week 5 of Term 2.In spite of the wet and rainy start to the week we can be grateful for the blessing of the rain.
The Chapel theme for this week is IDENTITY.
IDENTITY - a matter of both mind and heart.
Yesterday worldwide, Methodists celebrated WESLEY DAY when on May 24, 1738 John Wesley described what happened to him as a result of his conversion ‘ My heart was strangely warmed …’ John Wesley was a PK Kid, grew up in a Christian home, his father was an Anglican priest but admitted to not knowing Christ in his heart. He knew it in his mind, had studied at Oxford, graduated as a priest but after a failed mission to America, concluded it was a matter of his heart and something lacking.
We can come to God in many ways and each one’s journey is different. The constant is that God is already there.
We are already sons and daughters of God and can lay claim to this. This is our IDENTITY!
Our knowing this is a matter of both heart and mind … knowing God’s heart and mind for us and how we engage with this knowing today.
Have a blessed day.
