Why "Hiraeth Community"?

Why “Hiraeth Community”? A couple of people have asked me why the name ‘Hiraeth Community.’ To answer that, let me take you back … back to the dark old days we used to call the global covid pandemic. Because, it seemed to me, in the midst of all the madness and uncertainty, that people were searching. Genuinely searching while experiencing all sorts of new struggles. Whether it was people I encountered online or ‘facemask to facemask’ People were longing for something more than, facetime, furlough and pharmaceuticals. I was also well aware already of this word, this concept we have in Wales of “Hiraeth” - I knew that it fitted pretty well with that longing, nagging, yearning that I sensed in others and experienced myself. On my Instagram a definition of Hiraeth popped up on my timeline. This is what it said: "a deep sense of longing for home - perhaps a home we've never visited - a yearning for place or person that goes beyond this existence." And I was like, “Yep, that’s it - that’s what we’re feeling.” Those who believe AND those who don’t yet believe. So out of that, I thought “Hiraeth Community.” A way of sharing the hope we have because of what Jesus did for us. Sometimes Christianity can be presented as a cure for all our common problems - but I was learning that it’s important to acknowledge that we live in this awkward space, where we know there is something more, there is something better. We’re certain of it because of what Jesus has done and promised and yet we still pray “Your Kingdom Come.” No one was satisfied with the way things were in 2020 - no one is ever truly satisfied with the world, or themselves. Something deep within us knows there’s more than all this. And for believers, we know who the king is, we know what he’s like, and that just intensifies the desperate hunger that we have for the fullness of his reign to be our daily reality. So the tagline of this small digital endeavour became: “helping those who long for home to find their way and finish strong.” It’s funny isn’t it so many people spend thousands of pounds and years of their lives - travelling the world to find themselves … but do we ever try and answer the question “Why are we all so lost???” Each of us are longing to find ourselves, our place, and our purpose - we have a Hiraeth for real identity, real home and real meaning. If I could channel my inner Dai Woolridge for a moment - we’ve all got the longing for belonging I’M CONVINCED THAT THE ONLY THING THAT CAN REALLY SATISFY THAT LONGING, THAT HIRAETH - IS JESUS. A song that spoke to me in those dark days of Global shutdown was Graves into Gardens - with these opening words: I searched the world But it couldn't fill me Man's empty praise And treasures that fade Are never enough Then You came along And put me back together And every desire Is now satisfied Here in Your love So that’s what it’s all about - Hiraeth Community - for those longing for home, wanting to help people to find their way and finish strong.

"THE SEED" // A POEM OUR PROBLEMS, THEIR ORIGINS AND GOD'S SOLUTION

You remember the story I hope that you do Of God who created, everything, everyone even you When the God who spoke created, He created it good & mankind could enjoy it just as he should But the problem with people that you’ll soon come to see Is that no one is good, not you, no not even me Who exactly is ‘good’ that’s an important question Answering that is life’s most important lesson Give me a rule & I’m sure to break it If it looks good to my eyes then I’m sure to take it We see this in life as we fight & we thieve & we see it in the beginning with God’s Adam & Eve “All that I’ve made is given to you freely Every fruit, every veg, it’s yours, the lot, really But you mustn't eat the fruit from that one seed No rules but that one.” the Lord God decreed & so they enjoyed it the world they’d been given Living with God on earth as in heaven They ate & they drank & were never in need Living life as they ought, how the Lord God decreed Except until one day when a foe not a friend Came to whisper his lies & God’s laws to amend "Really? He said that, he outlawed that seed Are you sure you heard him right, what the Lord God decreed Did He really say that? In God can you trust Restricting your freedoms, He treats you like dust A God who denies you puts me at unease Take a moment & think what the Lord God really decrees He knows you’ll be like Him when you eat from that tree The fruit He’s forbidden will help you to see. Knowledge of ‘good’ & what’s ‘evil’ proceeds That’s why He stops you, the Lord God in decrees.” Grasp your own destiny, take life by the horns Eat from that tree, look there's no thorns The fruit looks so tasty & ripe from that seed Eat it now both of you that’s my decree” The serpent had tricked them, they bought all his lies Following him not God looked best in their eyes Eve took it & ate & then gave it to Adam & he ate it & enjoyed it but at once a great chasm A divide had appeared, not one you could see Between Adam & God & His beautiful Eve God came to greet them & He noticed their deed At once His heart sank, they’d broken His decree “Not me, Blame her, she’s the one who led me astray” “Not me either, the serpents the one who made us his prey” “He asked if you loved us then why you decreed? What was so terribly wonderful about that seed & now we know it’s not the fruit that’s the problem It’s our hearts, not the rules, our inability to follow the Naked we stand here, ashamed rule breakers Rebelers against you who loved us & made us" They were right of course when they surveyed the scene Everything, all creation had somehow lost its sheen God hadn’t come to dwell as before He’d come to judge them for breaking His law The verdict was labour, hard labour at that For the man the kind that breaks your back For the woman in childbirth she’d know her sentence & death to all people, each one of their descendants But God wasn’t happy to simply hand out that verdict A promise came also, so sweet you should’ve heard it “A rescue will come to you both from her seed” A rescue how wonderful, what the Lord God decreed! “It won't be pretty what He’ll have to do To live & to die before making things new But I promise to you, to the creatures I love We can be together again if you trust in His blood” “Who is Good?” Not Adam, not Eve My guess is that it isn’t you either, I’m certain not me Only one was good & you know Him as Jesus He came from the Father to save us, to free us It was love in the beginning & love in the end Love that created & love that repaired “God Is Love.” I’m sure you’ve heard But that Love is seen in the incarnate WORD Jesus it was who spoke the creation Jesus it was who gave live through oration Jesus it was who banished from Eden Jesus it was who promised to save them Jesus it was who took on our flesh Jesus it was who died our death Jesus it was & Jesus it is It’s always been Jesus, everything is His Jesus it was, that promised seed He’s what’s good, just as the Lord God decreed

Prayers from the Cross of Jesus: # 7 "Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit"

Contemplating and meditating on the 7 Cries of Jesus on the Cross recorded in the gospels. In this prayer, a reflection on what Christ has achieved as much as what He said, and we're challenged to trust God in the most difficult of circumstances. Far too often we let circumstances and suffering cause us to turn away from the Father. But Jesus, at the end of it all, knew into who’s hands to commend His very self. Lord help us to do likewise Written and read by Sammy Davies Inspired by Luke 23:46 It isn’t easy Choosing light when darkness surrounds Trusting God When life has been so hard And yet Here walks Jesus Beaten Mocked Scorned Entrusting Himself Into His Father's hands Life is a shadowy place Through which we all traverse Why would we not entrust ourselves to the Father too? Choosing You, our God Is never an easy thing to do Suffering and circumstance Call us, all too often, away from your care But Jesus knew, when all was said and done That You, our Father in Heaven Are worth giving our lives too So, we commit ourselves today Rescue us from the power of those around us Preserve us in the presence of our persecutors Make Your face shine on us Let us experience Your salvation Do not let our cries go unanswered Save for the boasting of our enemies What lies before us In Jesus Is ever so sweet Give us eyes to see through this momentary darkness To glimpse Your wonderful light Amen
