A God who cares?

When we take time to look at the world all round us, it is full of beauty and wonder. Living on the edge of Dartmoor gives many opportunities to enjoy both the peace and the wildness of Creation.

Simply watching the play of the sunlight over the hills is enough to remind us that when God created this world, He declared it to be GOOD. Listening to the songs of the birds, feeling the gentle breeze, or the warmth of the sun- even the gift of the rain!

Take 5 minutes out today to enjoy the sights and sounds of Creation.

Focus your thoughts on God, not just the countryside or the flowers or the cute creatures!

Consider this. The God who made the world says that He loves you, and cares about you. How do we know? Because Jesus became a human being who laughed, cried, worked and even faced death.

The Bible has the story in full, if you would like to read it for yourself. Perhaps you might try the Gospel of Luke, found at the beginning of the New Testament. He recorded the facts about Jesus, and gives us notes of the teaching of Jesus (and everyone knows that Jesus is at least one of the most wonderful life-teachers who ever lived). It is worth a look. Jesus claimed to be more than just a teacher of religion or morality. He says he came to open the way, to be the Truth, and to give life in its fullest sense. Check it out!
