It's breaking my heart to hear my family talk......everybody is hurt. There seems to be no way to ever find reconciliation. But I still believe.....I will never quit believing that God will make a way, where there seems to be no way!!!
When I gaze at all the misery in the world - speaking of poverty, crime, hunger, hurt, anger, deceit.....it truly is a sad place to be - this world today is a dark place.....we're in desperate need of a Saviour - today more than ever before.....or maybe not.....maybe in all times the need was as big as it is today. What grieves my heart, is that He is there, Jesus came to save this world, but the world refuses to see Him, to turn to Him. Why???? It would be so easy - John the baptist preached: Repent and seek forgiveness of your sins - two steps, that bring salvation. Nothing too big really, but in this day and age it seems to be the hardest to do - people fight for justice, never ever realising, that we can only play law and order or court - as we play dress up or family as little children, as the judgement ultimately is God's not ours. Today we're so caught up in entitlement and what we can do or can't do - where we can't forgive or can forgive.... - these are the lies of the enemy of our soul, who wants us to live in bondage and without God.....
The reality is that we ought to forgive as through Christ we have been forgiven - we were made righteous through the blood of Christ, that we could boldly stand in the presence of God - could have a personal relationship with God Himself. Once we receive this precious gift, we can rejoice despite our circumstances, because we are set free - why is it then, that it is so difficult for this world to see the truth - why is it easier to deny that Jesus has come to save us - that He is Lord??? Why do people choose to live a life of pain, destruction, hatred, pain, prejudice, judgement and deceit......I have no plausible explanation. All I know is, that my fervent prayer tonight is, that hearts all over the world would be opened to the Grace and Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ and that they would find His Peace and Joy in receiving His Love and Forgiveness once and for all.
I am thrilled at the thought of being created in His image - His masterpiece, knit together to fulfil His purpose, the purpose He planned for us to do before the beginning of time - I hope you see this amazing truth and light despite or because of your circumstances - that all mankind would choose to see this truth.....anything else will only lead to death - whereas life eternal is only two steps away.....I urge you tonight, please please please take your sins to God, openly admit them and ask Him to forgive you for any sin you have committed, the hurt and pain you may have inflicted on those in your sphere of influence knowingly or unknowingly. Forgiveness is granted to all who ask - that's a promise we can lean on. Why don't we? Is it pride or fear or maybe both??? I am praying for you all - Christians and nonbelievers alike: God wants to have a relationship with you - He wants to be your closest friend. Trust Him with your life, and He will reward you with eternity with Him in Heaven!!!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray yesterday, today and tomorrow for the world to finally accept the Grace and Forgiveness that is ours....if we only asked.
Your friend and sister in Christ forever
