Held in Love: a reflection for Epiphany

Epiphany invites us to pause and to notice. To notice the moments when God is made known - not hidden, not distant, but present, close, with us. The word Epiphany means a “revelation”. At the heart of this feast is a simple truth: God is here. Emmanuel. Traditionally, Epiphany includes several stories: God is made known through Jesus in the journey of the magi, in his baptism, and in the abundance of wine at Cana. Different moments, one message: God chooses to be known, to be with us. The magi remind us that God’s love reaches far and wide. They come from distant lands, drawn to the light. Epiphany shows us a God whose love is not limited, it’s not just for a few, but is big enough to welcome everyone - a love that enfolds and holds. And Epiphany is not the end of the story. It is the beginning. The light appears, and the journey continues. So too with us. God’s presence doesn’t close the road ahead; it opens it. As we stand at this moment, Epiphany gently encourages us and quietly challenges us: to believe that God is already here, and to step forward in hope. Because the light still shines. The love still reaches outwards. And the journey ahead - as we are held in God’s care - may yet hold more for us than we can ever imagine. © Words and Music Darren Garfield 2026
