Listen to these words
From Psalm 139
For it was you
who created my being
Knit me together
in my mother’s womb
I thank you
for the wonder of my being
For the wonders
of all your creation

Now listen to these words
From the prophet Jeremiah 1: 4 – 5
The Lord spoke these words to me:
“Before I made you in the womb,
I chose you.
Before you were born,
I set you apart for a special work.
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

REFLECT
What words or phrases stay with you?
What feeling/s do these evoke in you?
A LISTENING EXERCISE in THREES
Now spend time listening to
each person’s response
Listen rather than chat
Give space for silence
Don’t interrupt sharing
Be still and quiet when
someone is sharing

God’s Gaze
Often we seek God
in all the wrong places.
It would be better
if we didn't look at all,
if we would allow ourselves
to dare to believe
that it is God's delight
simply to gaze upon us;
that God, who birthed us
in a great burst of passion,
is ever standing by in waiting,
longing to catch our attention,
endlessly hoping
that we might be startled
into recognition
as we wander lazily by
the radiant primrose –
snuggled in the grass.

The Gaze of the beloved
When God eases us out of God's heart into the earthly plane,
God searches for the place that is most like paradise,
and that is the mother’s gaze.
In the mother’s gaze,
she transparently mirrors God’s infinite gaze of love,
looking into the eyes of the infant.
And when the infant looks into her eyes it is looking into God’s eyes.
When God gazes at us and we gaze at God, both of us light up

Here I am Lord
Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if You lead me.I will hold Your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Listen to these words
From the prophet Isaiah 1:8
Then I heard the Lord’s voice.
He said,
“Whom can I send?
Who will go for us?”
So I said,
“Here I am. Send me!”

Now listen to these words
From the Gospel of John 20: 19 -21
It was the first day of the week.
That evening Jesus’ followers were together.
The doors were locked, because they were afraid of
the Jews. Then Jesus came and stood among them.
He said, “Peace be with you!”
After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
His followers were very happy when they saw the Lord.
Then Jesus said again, “Peace be with you! As the
Father sent me, I now send you.”

Closing Prayer
You are loved by God.
Each and every one of you:
cherished, adored, liked –
just as you are.
God loves you,
Jesus loves you,
the Spirit loves you:
Three-in-One.
No exceptions.
Follow Christ’s footsteps,
walk into the wilderness –
and dance in the desert.
Beloved of God,
come on a journey.
