Dear
Amcare
You
may or may not know that the view from my office looks out over
Amcare and I often stretch my hands in your direction and ask our
Lord to bless you. I write this with love to all of you who give so
selflessly in your service to Amcare and therefore to our Lord and
the wider community of Alberton. I am deeply aware of the struggles
Amcare is constantly dealing with and the personal struggle and
difficulties that subsequently affect each of you. Please be assured
of my prayers. Below is an extract from a Daily Devotional that I am
currently using and I felt it might be a blessing for you today as it
has been for me.
I know how very easy it is to remind folk who are
going through difficult times that Jesus is with them. I know that it
is often in the difficult times that Jesus seems
to us to be furthest away and difficult to reach....I have felt this
way sometimes. But I have learnt that that is when He is really the
closest. This devotion seems to put this idea into better words than
I can, and I hope you are blessed by it.
Much
love,
Cedric
PS for my JohnWesleyProject.com congregation from the DentalMethodist:
AMCARE was established in 2001 by the Alberton Methodist Church as a community outreach programme. It was decided to provide a Victim Empowerment Programme, comprehensive HIV and Aids services and Skills Development Services. Today, operating independently but in association with the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, AMCARE achieves the seemingly impossible with activities extending from Alberton to Thokoza, Eden Park, Phola Park and the Squatter Camps of Greenfields and Thinazonke

Trust nothing,
yourself least of all; but in Me have that perfect confidence that
banishes fear. Remember how many storms I have quieted by a word,
making a great calm to follow. Remember how I held up Peter walking
on the waters. I am always as near to all people as I was then to
him, and as ready to help and comfort in all that is for the good of
the soul. Be confident, faithful, courageous; have no fear for
your body and soul, for I am there, loving and all-powerful. Never
forget that I am there. In this life the tempest never ceases, and
your boat is ever ready to sink. But I am there, and with Me it will
never be wrecked.
