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.

I Wish I Didn't

  I read the text that said you were gone. The disappointment, the deepening of missing you, increased immediately, and grief filled my being. My mind struggles when I am at work or at my sister's with the knowledge you won't be walking in the door with your friendly smile and hello. I won't hear your friendly words or your snarky comments when things go wrong.  I know, I know, I know we all get to be gathered together again as Jesus said, however, there is a hole here in the lives of those who knew you that only you filled. Right now it really trips us up. I know we will figure a way to deal - as you would say. You never made a million in dollars, but you certainly made more than millions in love. We all enjoyed you. You brought so much to your relationships even when you struggled. I am so sorry for your struggles. I know you are at peace now. That energetic smile is probably beaming standing in the presence of our heavenly Fathers love. I believe with all my heart you ar...

Let Love Shine

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. ...

Praying? Really?

  I made a comment couple of days ago, of how I would like to be like Peter or Paul right now. I would like to be so close and open to hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit that I can say to her, as she lays before me on the hospital bed, with machines, and skilled nurses working to keep her alive, and comfortable, "Rise and walk, in Jesus name." Or I could clearly hear God say she will, but she will rise into eternity with Me. Instead I pray desperate prayers. I know stories of miracles. I want one now.   I also want to be able to accept if what I want Him to do, is not what He is going to do. I asked myself, and God, How does my faith apply here? How? Looking at the situation, a negative statement made about prayers and miracles frustrated me, and I wanted to have an opportunity  to have a comeback. I suddenly wanted my prayers for a miracle to say, THIS IS WHY I PRAY! Science is silent when God speaks and God moves! Then I asked, how does my faith, my prayers...
