1 MORE TALK EDITION 13 03 MAY 2019 Thomas More College [email protected] www.thomasmore.co.za GENERAL INFORMATION WEEKLY SCRIPTURE Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Last week I was shocked to learn of the loss of a very sweet friend. I’ve wept – and been comforted by the Comforter. My tears have been for her brokenness, pain and loss, but also for the kindness of our merciful Saviour in finding her and revealing himself to her. That was the nature of her last journey – one of new discoveries, of paradigm shifts… “I’ve always replayed the same narrative but your words have shown me a different truth”, of being found by the One who loved her with a love she’d never known or understood. It was a love she learnt about through a simple friendship, a beautiful tender season for which I will be eternally grateful.
