Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
'I have been spending a lot of time in my garden. I find gardening very therapeutic. To be in contact with nature, with God’s creation, is important. If I have a bad day, I dig. It’s very good therapy.
'I’ve been dealing with 10 years of neglect in the garden and have started a vegetable patch. I sacrificed half of the lawn and am growing beetroot, radishes, spinach, beans and peas, whatever seeds I could get.
'When lockdown began our Bishop suggested that we all read Psalm 23 every day. The discipline of that has been good. It’s been hugely helpful.
'I’ve been reading Psalm 23 and thinking about gardening. When my seedlings came up through the soil, I thought, "my cup runneth over". I felt God’s goodness coming through the earth.
'The whole idea of having one’s head anointed with oil, and that goodness and mercy will follow me through the Valley of the Shadow of Death has been hugely helpful.
'If you dwell on a text like this, you will hear or read, what you need to know. That’s felt very powerful over these last weeks. It’s kept us going really.'
‘Rwyf wedi bod yn treulio llawer o amser yn fy ngardd. Mae garddio yn therapiwtig iawn. Mae bod mewn cysylltiad â natur, â chreadigaeth Duw, yn bwysig. Os caf ddiwrnod gwael, rwy'n palu. Mae'n therapi da iawn.
'Rydw i wedi bod yn delio â 10 mlynedd o esgeulustod yn yr ardd ac wedi creu gwely llysiau. Fe wnes i aberthu hanner y lawnt ac rydw i'n tyfu betys, radis, sbigoglys, ffa a phys, pa bynnag hadau y gallwn gael gafael arnynt.
'Pan ddechreuodd y cyfnod cloi, awgrymodd ein Hesgob ein bod i gyd yn darllen Salm 23 bob dydd. Mae disgyblaeth hynny wedi bod yn dda. Mae wedi bod o gymorth mawr.
'Rydw i wedi bod yn darllen Salm 23 ac yn meddwl am arddio. Pan ddaeth fy eginblanhigion i fyny trwy'r pridd, meddyliais, "mae fy nghwpan yn llawn". Teimlais ddaioni Duw yn dod drwy’r ddaear.
'Mae'r holl syniad o’r pen yn cael ei eneinio ag olew, a daioni a thrugaredd yn fy nilyn trwy Ddyffryn Tywyll Du wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol iawn.
'Os ydych chi'n aros gyda thestun fel hwn, byddwch chi'n clywed neu'n darllen yr hyn sydd angen i chi ei wybod. Roedd hynny wedi teimlo’n bwerus iawn dros yr wythnosau diwethaf hyn. Mae wedi ein cadw ni i fynd mewn gwirionedd.'
