Anyone who believes in the son has eternal life.
But anyone who refuses to believe  in the son will never see life .
Free us we pray from all strife
Cut through our doubts with a meditative knife.

I read through my father’s letters of love.
Written to my mother eighty years ago.
He was away in the RAF and so much in love.
He wrote every two days and he was so very low.

They met when he was nineteen , she twenty two.
We think of Bletchley Park of codebreaking.
One of the many not the few.
Never complaining , only serving.

Far away , busy writing.
But eventually returning.

…….

Belief in the son
Will lead to eternal life
And the other way?

….

See John 3: 31-36
