Market CHURCH

Hello Marketeers

Trudging through the rain.

It rained a lot last week didn’t it?!

And there’s nothing like the rain of the city, kicking up all the dirt and getting right to your skin.

It’s my own experience that much of February is gloomy… weather, my attitude, my feelings.

We see it in the Market too, the people who like their homes stay there, or rush through without stopping.

Those who don’t like to stay at home because they’re lonely, cold or homeless come out, often gloomy, often getting right to your skin.

There are clear seasons not just in our own lives that affect us but also in those around us (Ecclesiastes 3).
Our job on the market is not to solve these issues in an instant (although let’s always pray for that!)
Our job is to look through the gloom, to trudge through the rain, and to look for the sunshine… more to the point…
Our job is to look through the issues of our lives and of others and to look for the Son (Romans 4:1-3, Matthew 25:40).
