Dear beloved of Trinity Church,
Greetings, I come to you from Colorado this evening. I’m here this week and weekend. I’ve been invited by one of our members to come and officiate their wedding. What a blessing it is. I’ve never been to Colorado. I’ve never seen the Colorado Rockies. I’ve never seen nature quite like this, mountains quite so high, streams so pure and lovely. What an amazing gift. When you come here, you simply have no doubt of the majesty, the beauty, the enormity of God. What an amazing sight and how wonderful to experience it.
Tonight, we’re at the rehearsal and I’m standing next to a stream which happens to be by the property where we're gathering tonight and I looked at that stream and I thought of Matthew 7:38. It speaks to the fact that we, as follows of Jesus Christ, the streams of life-giving water flow within us. The waters of God’s love — baptismal waters — flow in us and flow through us, that we might bring life and living water to all those in need, all those who are hurting, all those who are hungry, all those who are lonely.
What a gift it is to stand here this evening. And I bring you this message of living water, of life and hope. May you know and feel the living water of Christ in you. And may you open yourself to allow it to flow through you, to bring life to those with whom you walk this journey.
Peace and blessings to all of you, dear friends, and we’ll see you next week. Take care. God bless.
