Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realise that it was Jesus. John 21: 4 Waiting tests your patience. Waiting for Christmas, waiting for the delayed R68 bus, waiting for Liverpool to win the Premiership. As Jesus stood on the shore I wonder how long he had been waiting. He already had breakfast ready so I assume he must have been there for a while. But I imagine his waiting was full of excitement to see his friends, stood in anticipation, eager to see them again. I don’t think God’s character has changed. What a comforting reality that Jesus is always waiting for us, and He always will be, no matter how long we take. A prayer - Lord, thank you that you are always there, even when we turn away, you are still there waiting for us to come to you. Amen James Clee
