Hearts on Fire

Pity the poor disciples!

Everything, everything has come to a screeching halt. Good Friday, we call it; I bet they didn’t.

All Jesus’ words, his deeds, the revelations of a life well-lived, vanished into the unfathomable void of death and despair.

Two days later, though, hope begins to slowly germinate – just a bud, but isn’t life, any tiny life, so precious?

Imagine Jesus with you in your house, his arm around you, your relationship revived, telling the stories that always caused you to catch your breath.

Dear one, is your heart burning within you?
