Archives/Archivos Many who have stood with us—even for over 50 years—have gone to be with the Lord. Will you pray that God will raise up others? God tells what loving Him should be all about; breaking the chains of spiritual prisoners, lifting the heavy burdens of others, feeding and clothing the hungry and poor, training our own tongues to build others rather than judge them, and living to satisfy others and not just ourselves. I try to see every human being as if they are in a fire. Each is in a fire in the world that offers much sin and little hope. (That’s why suicide is now becoming epidemic.) Each soul is also in the “fire” of a physical body that can die at any moment—young or old, rich or poor, healthy or sick. Death offers no second chance.... It's not the size of sin but the sorrow for sin that brings repentance, renewing, reviving and release... Like the man lost in the desert who suddenly locates water—like the starving prisoner who is freed and offered food—I drank and ate and drank the Word, the Word, the Word! And just like He said, I got so full that rivers of this living water started flowing out of my inner being.
If someone throws a lemon at you, make lemonade rather than throw it back. If another hurls mud your way, don’t try to rub it off. You’ll only make it worse. Just love the Lord, allow no bitterness in your heart, let the mud dry, and shake it off. “WHY?” “WHY?” Society’s “experts” seek answers to the problem. But the “experts” are the problem. To millions of youth the word “God” has become just that—a word. Science rules. There is no God. No purpose. No absolutes. No personal importance or value. No one made in the image of God. That’s what the mouths of many educators teach. And that’s what the lives of even many “Christians” declare in the mad pursuit of things. Even when Israel was playing the harlot, her Almighty Husband yet reached out in love. And how many times have we, as Messiah’s bride, wounded Him through our spiritual adulteries with the world, only to find Him willing to take us back into His arms of love? How does God want us to answer the question He raises: "Who are you?" We are to look into another mirror - the Word of God - and dare to boldly answer... So now our pursuit of more “Susans” continues. They are everywhere—just waiting to be touched by love. And you are part of this team that God uses to do His touching. |
