WHATEVER BROUGHT YOU HERE TODAY? DESERVES MORE THAN JUST A GLANCE GOD'S HAND IS WORKING EVERYWHERE YOU'RE NOT HERE BECAUSE OF CHANCE!! OUR PURPOSE IS TO REACH FOR THOSE WHO FEEL LOST AND ALL ALONE... THE ONES WHO THINK THEY'RE UNDESERVING WHO ARE CONVINCED THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN THEY'VE BEEN ABUSED SO MANY WAYS IN BODIES, SOULS AND MINDS THEY'VE SURVIVED BUT ARE SO DAMAGED THEY CAN'T LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND IT AFFECTS THEM EVERY DAY STILL COLORING ALL THEY DO INFLUENCING THEIR DECISIONS INFECTING WHAT THEY THINK IS TRUE... THE STORIES ARE ALL DIFFERENT WE EACH HAVE OUR OWN NIGHTMARE BAD MEMORIES WE CANNOT ESCAPE BECAUSE HURT IS EVERYWHERE SOME THINK DRUGS WILL BLOCK IT OUT OR THAT BOOZE WILL DROWN THE PAIN OTHERS PRACTICE PROMISCUITY IN DESPERATION OR IN SHAME MOLESTATION, RAPE AND INCEST ABUSE... NEGLECT OF EVERY KIND HAVE BEEN INFLICTED ON US ALL OUR LIVES AND BITTERNESS TRAILS BEHIND WE SWALLOW PILLS ALONG WITH PRIDE WHILE DENYING WHAT WE FEEL JUST ASSUMING WE CAN GO THRU LIFE AVOIDING SUFERING THAT IS REAL BUT SOME OF US HAVE BEEN SET FREE FROM THE HORRORS WE WENT THROUGH WE'VE EMERGED OUT OF THE DARKNESS NOT ONLY STRONG, BUT WISER TOO WE REMEMBER PAIN AND EVERY TEAR BUT IT DOES NOT CONTROL OUR LIVES WE'VE FORGIVEN THOSE RESPONSIBLE AND OUR SENSE OF SELF SURVIVES! SO WHAT MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE? BETWEEN WHO TRIUMPHS AND DOES NOT? WHY DOES ONE SOUL SHINE WITH GLADNESS WHILE ANOTHER SITS AND ROTS? THE WOMAN WHO HAS LEFT HER SCARS IN THE PAST WHERE THEY BELONG? HAS BEEN RESCUED BY THE LOVE OF CHRIST AND HIS GRACE HAS MADE HER STRONG ! SO NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE TODAY REGARDLESS OF YOUR PAST? THERE IS A NEW LIFE OUT THERE WAITING ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK… JESUS DIED TO EARN FORGIVENESS FOR MANKINDS EVERY SIN LET HIS GRACE FILL UP YOUR SOUL AND HEAL YOU FROM WITHIN NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AFTER YOU GIVE CHRIST YOUR HEART YOU WILL BE A NEW CREATION POISED FOR A BRILLIANT START!! SO DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE KNEEL TO THE ONE WHO REALLY CARES REACH OUT YOUR HAND TO JESUS TRUST ME...HE'LL BE THERE!! LET HIS GRACE FILL UP YOUR HEART HIS LOVE WILL SHINE IN ALL YOU DO AND OTHERS WHO DON'T KNOW HIM YET? CAN AND WILL....THROUGH YOU!! THERE ARE SO MANY OF OUR SISTERS STRUGGLING THROUGH LIVES FULL OF PAIN UNAWARE WHAT THE SAVIOR OFFERS OR WHAT HE SUFFERED IN THEIR NAME THOUGH WE ALL HAVE HIS LIGHT WITHIN US SOME ARE STILL WAITING FOR A SPARK... LET YOUR PASSION IGNITE ANOTHER'S LAMP AND WE'LL ALL SHINE THROUGH THE DARK!! DUSTY SEPT 2008 |
