ummm.. well the Lord just has me in one of those places... can't really pin point it.... although I know that He has given me His eyes to see...
Wednesday was probably one of the hardest days recently... It started that morning with hearing some news that just broke my heart, we have a friend waiting on test results from a biopsy, we witnessed a pretty bad car accident, we see the news helicopter flying over and since we have no TV the Lord provided my dad so he told me about the 5 year old in our town that was getting attacked by 3 family dogs, a teenager that I know with an attempted suicide, a young man facing life in prison (mourning for his family),friends son with broken arm, 2 ladies that have just been diagnosed with cancer, mom had a note sent out to her condo association about her being president,childs cancer coming back and agressive at that, another marriage destroyed, unbeleving spouses of friends..... this was a hard day, sad day, doozie of a day!!!!....
BUT I have ask the Lord to give me His eyes, give me His heart, Love like He does... well.... HE HAS!!! I want the things that break His heart to break mine... in this world we live in we have become so desensitized to our surroundings, possibly even turning our heads ......we are a selfish people (I being number 1) as I pondered, prayed, and was heartbroken over these things the scripture that kept coming to my mind was
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.... this is the meaning of mourning over sin, my sin, the worlds sin.... and looking back on Wednesday all these things in someway had to do with sin... maybe not their own sin , but the sin of the world....
I often go back to what it must have been like in the garden when Adam and Eve were in PERFECT communion with God!... thankful for my Savior, My Lord that one day if we are in Christ we will be in PERFECT communion with God, No sin, No suffering, No tradegy, No crying....
so as Wednesday came and left I am thankful God comforted me and HE is my HOPE! ..... I can't imagine the non believer hearing or witnessing these things and having NO HOPE..... breaks.my.heart!...
so as this season of Christ approaches know that there is HOPE, He is HOPE....
