RESCUED

Last night I watched the most disturbing video. 

It made me cry.  

It made me angry.  

It made me heartbroken.  

It made me devasted.  

It made me sick. 

I thought of the people involved in the video. It was a rescue mission. The police went way into the deep dark cellar of sin and freed a victim.  

I don't know the details of how they were able to find this person and free them, all I saw was the rescue.  

I was so happy the victim was rescued. 

Once the victim heals from the physical wounds, there will be emotional wounds to heal from. 

It hurt my mind and made me sick, that there are people who are participating in victimizing other people in such a dark and evil way.

My prayer and hope is the victimwill truly, truly be comforted by God's loving hand. 

And the perpertrators will stop doing what they are doing.

When I thought of the video this morning it brought to mind how Jesus came into this dark world to rescue people from the deep dark cellar of sin. 

Jesus goes where other's do not. 

Jesus talks to hearts and minds of the people that other's would rather stay away from. 

Jesus rescues victims from the hands of other's people's sins. 

He goes right into the darkness and shines His light. 

I am so grateful today that Jesus gave those rescuers what was needed to save the victim. 

I am so grateful today that Jesus rescued me from my own deep dark cellar of sin. 

No matter where you are, I hope you know He is there in that darkness. His light shines. 

I hope you call to Him. 

I hope you hear Him. 

I hope you look for Him. 

I hope you see Him. 

I hope you reach out for Him.

I hope you hold on to Him. 

And I hope you know that sin is in the world, but Jesus goodness is here too. 

May His light shine bright around you today. 

May you feel His comfort.

May He rescue you.

When I picked up my phone yesterday I had the thought, I wonder what is happening on Facebook today. My next thought was, I hope nothing bad happened . The first post - something bad had happened in Vegas. I looked at the news. Are there any words to express about something, that my mind cannot grasp, had  happened? Then it got personal when I discovered a couple of my family members knew people who had lost their lives at this concert and others who were injured. I have no words. I cannot grasp who or why would do such a horrible thing. And whenever I think of what the people at the concert went through, while running away from the bullets, there is no words, only tears. I am not normally a name caller, but no matter what his mental condition was at the time, no matter what his reasons, only a little coward would do what he did. The people had no way to defend themselves. No way to counter attack. Purely an evil cowardly act of violence. And the point? There is none. Hat

Not Worry? How hard is that?

  I had some time to sit on the beach and stare off into the vast unknown. Did you know just sitting there set me up for the boundaries of the ocean to be removed and taken out to the deep never to return? Did you also know that sitting there is so peaceful and shows me the power of God who created such a magnificent vast ocean with the beautiful sky above and the sun that rises and sets each day?  Anxiety and worry, or Peace and relaxation? I cannot tell you how many times I struggle to NOT WORRY instead of staying in the moment. About 35 years ago I had a tough situation in my life. Worry filled my mind about what could happen the next day. When I opened my Bible the verse I read was “Do not worry about tomorrow, for today has enough troubles of its own.” How hard is that? How hard is it to not worry about things that seem intimidating, scary, or life changing in the future? In a Bible study I am in, the discussion was on Adam and Eve after they had eaten the forbidden fruit from the

He Chose You To Love You

  Pretty much every morning I open my eyes to a cute little cat staring at me waiting for me to wake up. My other cat is prowling around the bed meowing trying to get me up, usually way before I want to wake up. I say good morning to them, pet them, and they follow me around the room. Then I go into my office where my dogs sleep and let them out of their kennels. Those two dogs get so excited. Their tails wag, and their little bodies wiggle crazily about me while I pet them. Then they greet each other by panting in each other’s faces, chewing at each other, and wagging their tails more. It is truly an ordeal to get down the stairs safely, they are so excited. Once they go outside and eat, as soon as I sit down, they wiggle their way to me and rub their excited little bodies up against me and just want to be talked to and petted. They get so excited as I talk to them and get full of energy, rolling on the floor, jumping, and ending up wrestling with one another. Each of these 4 animals
