God's love has no boundaries

Joel Katoro (who is being sponsored by St Edmund's) was visiting his family in Leeds during January.

Joel writes:-

To my friends of the Church of St Edmund's, Roundhay

Greetings to you in the name of Christ, our Lord.

I was filled with joy when I learnt about my invitation to your Church. At the same time I was confused because I did not know how to express my thanks to you all for what you have done to my family, particularly me. As I was trying to quest for an appropriate way, I remembered a story of a small boy who was wondering about how much God's love is. He walked into a Church, knelt down in front of the cross where Jesus is nailed and asked how much His love for him is. Each time the boy indicated the love of Jesus with the size of his hands, Jesus shook his head. At last the boy stretched his arms widely, then Jesus nodded. The small boy exclaimed, "Yes, now I know why your arms are always stretched!" The small boy then walked out knowing God's love has no boundaries.

The love you have shown me is so abundant that I can't forget it for a second in my life. Without your help I would be a wanderer, I won't have reached the stage in which I am now.

I thank you so much for your prayers for my family. It was through our joined prayer that we came to be united as a family, and the same prayer made us meet as friends. Let's continue praying ceaselessly for each other. May God shower abundant blessing on each one of you.

I love you all.

Joel Katoro, Mbarara University of Science and Technology
