It's time to stop sitting still in our comfortable church buildings and comfortable neighborhoods. You see, there are 143 million orphans in the world, 385 million living on less than $1 and 27 million enslaved!!! These number are NOT ok with me at all! This does not settle well within me. If you showed me this last year I would be upset over it, but then I went to Haiti and experienced those numbers and now I am enragaged. These numbers have a name to it, a name that is of significance and value, just like you and I. They are no different than you and I. They each have a story and each are broken human beings in need of a savior...in need of Jesus, the lover of their soul, who rejoices over us with singing!! So....what do we do with that? I can tell you what Not to do... please don't sit in ignorance. This is real...it's happening everywhere...look in your own city, it's here too. It's not just in Haiti and Africa. It's in our own country, our own cities. I can't say what you should do...that's between you and God. I know what I'm doing...I am entrusting myself to Jesus and allowing Him to move through me in my own home, school, city, and then in Swaziland, Africa...To be a voice for the voiceless. Pray with me to fearlessly proclaim the mystery of God's grace for which i am an ambassador of!(eph 6:19)
These are just a few thoughts for this morning.
Also here is a song called "We are Hungry" by Jesus Culture.
