Such a small word to capture the depiction of such an overwhelming emotion. How can that even encapsulate the gravity of my reality. For I am in a permanent state of awe. To be blessed daily, ever daily is something to make you return to your astonished disposition. To hear the beautiful words of someone speak, "I'm praying for you. We're praying for you."
Why then do we wait until an event arises to lift others up? Do we not have daily issues? Maybe we have friends who are fighting such a personal battle around them that they are being consumed with anger and hopelessness; yet they remain a stoic pillar on the outside. You smile and wave, they return the gesture. I am sending this message perhaps out to three people that are reading this to take arms and PRAY. This is an emergency.
You think not? There are people our neighbors, friends, our families who are hurting. These aren't just Candyland figurines to move around a game board, these are souls. Souls seeking. Souls aching. Souls stabbed but the mistakes they have made. Regrets, longings, what-ifs and how comes? Perhaps if only, Why.........WHY?
I am not a scholar or a doctor. Not royalty or a celeb. But I have the answer those souls are seeking. They need Christ. We must show love. Christ didn't come for us to live a life that reflects how empty and meaningless this world is. We have a HOPE!
God love you and the rest of the world, He created you! He created you to spend life enticed in his goodness. He wanted us to be with him. But we ALL have sinned against God, we have all screwed up. The only way that we could be forgiven is by having something atone or replace our sins. A sacrifice. Nothing we could offer could be enough. Jesus gave his life being your enough. He is more than enough. He died on two wooden beams that made a cross. They nailed him to that cross, in my place....in your place. 3 days later though He rose from the dead. Catch that. He is ALIVE! We are merely asked to believe in Him and give our lives to Him. He gave you his life......why are you clinching yours?
I am in awe. Jesus did that. HE is my purpose. Without Him I would be nothing. Without His life I would be dead. We have the privilege to speak to our creator in prayer...
If you want to play Candyland move over. Your turn is done. There are souls thirsty for life, a Heavenly Father. If you need anything taken to God in prayer, please ask me. I consider it an honor to speak with my Lord on your behalf. I can't judge you, trust me. This broken vessel pieced together to form Kathy is full of shame, regret and chips of falling. But Christ is always there to pick us up. He is forgiving. He wants to hear from you.
Pray.
