Just back from my monthly Businessman’s Life Group and I was
really struck by a small phrase my friend Jarek used. He talked about the times
when God says ‘hello’.
In fact if you think about it, those times are frequent. He
is a God who loves us and wants to say ‘hello’, even if we choose to say ‘goodbye’.
He says ‘hello’ every time the sun rises. Every time you
smell the fragrance of a rose. Each time your children or grandchildren give
you a hug.
He says ‘hello’ through a friend’s prayer when you are
struggling to stay sane. Through the gift at the door when there is nothing
left in the kitchen. Through the unexpected addition to the bank balance, the
bonus and the promotion.
He says ‘hello’ through an act of kindness, the squeeze of a
friends hand, the arm around the shoulder.
And he says ‘hello’ through you. Every time you reach out,
pray out, show you care, send a card or give a gift.
We have a God who loves to say hello. From the beauty of the
sunrise to the grandeur of its setting, He is opening up a conversation. And He
loves it when we reply.
