Blessings of the Trinity be upon you—
Father, Son, and Spirit, ever near.

May the rivers of mercy flow through your days,
And the light of Christ shine warm on your road.
May the laughter of friends lift your spirit,
May the love of God be your guide and your guard.
And as Patrick once walked with faith before him,
May you walk in grace wherever you go.

These are the words at the end of a sermon about the deceitfulness of wealth - the thorns choking the good seeds - Matthew 13. At Pinelands Baptist Church, Cape Town 5/5

My Father's love is the grace that will produce a harvest in you that will wow the world around you
My Father's love gives you and you and you and you value and worth.” 4/5

For every person he met Jesus demonstrated the secret of the Kingdom:
“My Father's love gives you identity and value and worth,
My Father's love gives you protection and something to wake up with every single day 3/5

The story of Jesus:
from birth in stable to death on a criminal’s cross,
from fleeing as a genocide refugee to preaching good news to the poor,
from loving the outcasts and becoming the friend of sinners
overthrows the lie that wealth equals worth! 2/5
