Fourth Sunday of Easter Audio

We cannot avoid pain or suffering or uncomfortable moments or the judgment of the world. When we run away from God - we get further and further away from His voice - the voice that speaks Truth. And I know we are often afraid of the truth - and yet there is a truth we need to hear. I know we don't like being told we're sinners or that we shouldn't have said that or done that - but that is not the only thing God says.The voice of God also calls out to us to remind us we are His child - forgiven - eternal - loved - did I say forgiven? Yeah - I know I did but I think you need to hear that at least twice - along with you are loved. No matter where in the world our feet happen to be - God wants us to also be in His arms where He can hold us and give us peace and speak words of promise - even in, make that especially in, the midst of pain and uncertainty
