Through the Eyes of God

God has been showing me so many things lately….more than I can handle sometimes……many of them things about myself and how very little I understand of the true meaning of love or pain. Yesterday I sat with a child….ok….a teenager….who was in SO much pain….I am afraid for this kid….he doesn’t believe in God….I have tried to talk to him about God several times using different approaches and my words bounce back at me….so he doesn’t have the hope I have….it’s like Satan has him in his grips….I made a phone call to his mother last night and I told her I felt he was at serious risk of taking his own life…..it breaks my heart….he is a wonderful kid….he has compassion for others and a beautiful smile and an ability to forgive others….but not himself…..pray for him….

I could share 20 others stories like this…..and so could you….think about the little girl Zara…..do you ever think about what her last minutes on this earth were like….how scared she must have been…..did she cry out for her mum?…..did she understand what was happening?.....I heard on the radio last night that a little girl in Charlotte was hit by a car while waiting for the bus….it did give me hope in the human condition to hear that the man who hit her got out of the car and waited with her until help arrived even though he was driving with a revoked license….praise God that his conscious over ruled his fear…..what must he be going through knowing he did this to this precious child….it could have been any of us…..

I guess sometimes I start thinking about whoas me and then I realize that I am SO blessed…..so many people are in so much pain and they need the love of Jesus…..help me Lord to be able to take care of myself and stay closely connected to you so that I can give them what they need at the right time when YOU provide the opportunities…..I know that I can do NOTHING without you and when I try to help others on my own….I just end up making things worse…..please help me to see with your eyes and serve with your heart and to never forget that it is ALL about YOU!!
