Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15)
Paul writes in Romans 12 of how we are all part of one body, no one part more important than the other, and in 1 Corinthians 12 of how we are one body made up of different parts all reliant on each other. Eyes and ears, arms and legs. I was challenged recently to write…
