God loves us. He has always loved us. He will always love us. Like a theme dominating a piece of music e will H, this message runs right through the Biblee will always love us. H; indeed, in one guise or another, it runs right through history. Yet comparatively few people hear it. Fewer still respond to it. This realisation was brought home to me one evening when attending a ‘Last Night of the Proms’ . After the
interval, members of the orchestra and audience alike were wearing paper hats; the audience threw streamers, burst balloons and waved their miniature Union Jacks. But despite the hilarity, the orchestra played on.
My husband and I were sitting in the choir stalls, which meant we could hear and see everything. Even when the level of excited noise roared to a crescendo, we could still hear the orchestra playing. I was grateful for that, because the sea shanty begins with a most moving, haunting cello solo. Despite the inattentiveness of the audience and the level of the hubbub, the cellist put
her heart and soul into the performance and I, at least, was deeply touched. The people were so intent on enjoying themselves that they failed to hear it. ‘God is rather like that cellist’, I mused. ‘He is continually putting his heart and soul into sending us the most healing music in the world: “I love you.” But we are so occupied with our own concerns and pleasures that we fail to hear it or,
at best, pick up only the faintest and occasional strains of his love song.’
