Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

The end of November is frightening.听December arrives and we鈥檙e suddenly sliding inexorably towards the holidays, towards the end of term, towards rest - but also towards deadlines and cut-off dates.听These, to me, are moments of extreme stress.听Once, when I was a student, I found myself very, very lost on the wrong side of a deadline. And whilst this was not a situation wholly unknown to either me or my teachers, on this occasion I was pushing the envelope even by my own spectacular standards of lateness.听So, inevitably, the moment arrived when there was simply nowhere to run, and the only thing left to do was hide.

听

I don鈥檛 mean this metaphorically.听I mean I saw my teacher walking towards me in the street and I literally hid. 听I dived into a doorway and performed an act of what can only be described as abject cowering, fervently hoping that he would walk past without noticing me.

He did not.听Not only did he see me but he stopped, as I imagined, to convict me.听Except he didn鈥檛 do that either.听Instead, he asked very kindly how I was and whether there was anything he could do to help me finish my work. 听And please would I finish it.听It was hard to know how to respond, so I blurted out an inarticulate torrent of gratitude, apology and rudimentary animal noises in a failed attempt to convey the appropriate amount of thanks, shame and relief.

听

I reckon every one of us knows what it is to want to run and hide from the things we have and haven鈥檛 done.Now, Christians believe, rather terrifyingly, that no matter how far we run and where we hide, even to the ends of the earth, God will find us.听But Christians also believe that when God does find us, it is not to demand that we hand in our homework. It鈥檚 not to condemn or punish us. It is to love us. 听It is to carry us home. It is to make us safe.

And no matter what we believe, the truth is that when we are loved and made safe, we are better able to love and to make safe. And no one has to run and hide from that.
