It’s All For You

1 John 4.13-16

I am the complete expression
of love
greater by far
more consistent
than any other love
you’ll ever know
than any other love
that’s ever warmed
and touched your heart

imagine that
I am the complete expression of love
in all its fullness
love
as it was designed to be
wonderful
sustaining
forgiving
serving
perfect, perfect love

and I long to overwhelm you
with that love
to lavish it upon you
to swamp you with it
hold you in it
never
let you go

open your heart
to receive

there are no conditions
it’s all
for you
whatever you’ve done
whatever others
have done to you
however you’re feeling
right now
it’s all for you

open your heart
to receive

    Vaughan Park Scholarship

    In early 2010, I had the privilege of studying and writing at Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre in New Zealand where I studied the power of imaginative contemplation with the scriptures to facilitate healing.

    Retreat Leading

    Since 2004, I have worked as a Christian Writer and Retreat Leader.

    I specialise in weaving contemporary poetry, scripture and contemplative meditations into retreat times and my retreats are usually aimed at helping others to deepen their relationship with God and to receive his healing love.

    I am always open to discuss ways in which I might be able to help those seeking a retreat leader, or seeking to find a suitable retreat for themselves, so please do get in touch.

    Please support me by praying for my ministry.

    I'll be posting my latest news and prayer requests on this site.

    Thank you ...
