Dear Abba
You are so good to me Admist all of these uncertainties I can still sing a melody Joy in my heart for you are so lovely So worthy and mighty To be, in your family Is all that I could ever ask for Experiencing the manifestation of Love Washing me as white as a dove You came from above Because You are Love And you were mocked and scorned A crown of thorns All, for me To love me To make me family I love thee...

"We usually begin the journey towards God thinking, 'What do I have to do to get this or that from him?' but eventually we have to begin thinking, 'What do I have to do to get HIM?' If you don't make that transition, you will never actually meet the real God, but will only end up believing in some caricature version of him." -Tim Keller (The Reason for God)
This precious child...
Lead by a social worker to our program, he came in all hyper and excited, innocent and joyful
But back at his home, his family is struggling. Blind and abusive Father, limited mother, handicapped sister...
Every piece of candy that he gets, every cup of ice cream, every gift, he asks for a second to give to his sister...
As he battled through a fever the second day, being cradled by an auntie, I could not help but cry out to God, “why is he suffering so much, why is his family is broken, why can’t we do anything...”
I didn’t want to leave him, his family, I wanted to have a bigger impact...
But God just told me, “I have him in my hands. You have planted the seeds. Lift him up to me through prayer...”
I cry out in frustration at the fact that I am so powerless
but I cry out in joy knowing that God is so powerful
To bring them(emotionally wounded people) up emotionally you must be willing to be drained emotionally

“Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." “
Matthew 19:14
The purity and innocence breaks my heart
Many of these children’s parents do NOT go to church
Ancestral worship and Spirit worship plagues their households, like a leech, sapping away their money and time and souls...
but these children experienced Jesus, the truth and the way...
The Right Encouragement at the Right Time
“Hey Mike!
Although you thanked me in your graduation letter, I actually want to thank YOU. Seeing how you’ve grown into the man of God you are today is like seeing a small seed planted in God’s kingdom grow and produce fruit. For those who simply get a glimpse of your love for Jesus, they are pointed to Jesus himself because your love is so humble, sincere, and passionate. You have faith like a child, always wanting to learn, accepting criticism, and feeding on the Word as daily bread. In fact you actually remind me of David, who was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 17 especially). David also had many difficulties – they were so numerous that He made hundreds of psalms crying out to God. But in every situation, he praised God in song and prayer. As a sis, I love seeing your outpouring of God’s love in our school community and church and your dependency on Christ through tough times - it’s been so encouraging to me through my own storms in life as a testament of God’s goodness. I hope you have a relaxing summer with time to refresh and recharge, and if you ever need anything in your senior year please feel free to let me know if I can help see ya around~

These kids would nag me asking for rides, throw fits when they didn't want to stay quiet, fidget when they didn't feel like learning English.
"Rowdy, annoying, stubborn, spoiled, obnoxious" These are just some words that people would use to describe them... These are some words that can be used to describe us as well My inherent sin is no different from the sin of any child, any stranger, any Muslim, and Jew, and Mormon
Behind all of this, all of their difficulties, our difficulties, all of their imperfections, our imperfections- Simply lies a brokenness that needs God's Love
Behind the very cynical and pessimistic view of the inherent sinful nature of Humans actually lies the hopeful and irrational truth that DESPITE our sinful nature there is still someone out there that Loves us and forgives us for our sin, past present AND future.
-Ministry is where Human Need(for Love) is met with Divine Providence(God's Unconditional Love) carried through Loving Channels(Human Vessels) for the Glory of God.
I get so weary trying to love people. It takes everything. Humility can feel like humiliation. Patience feels like losing. Grace can feel like pain.
But the alternative is far worse. It’s hard to love people, but so much harder not to. Hate feels like winning but it shuts the door. Grace is the only seed that might bloom. Either way there’s a cost, so I choose to invest in love.
If we don’t praise you, then the rocks will...
Stay single until someone actually complements your life in a way that makes it better not to be single. If not, it’s not worth it.

Spiritual friendship is eagerly helping one another know, serve, love, and resemble God in deeper and deeper ways.

Why am I crying
As I write into my journal my heart breaks
For those who don’t know you God
For those who are wandering
Lost,
Desperate...
For those who are drifting away from your embrace
God please help them

God I beg of you
Carry our souls
We’re no longer slaves to fear. That doesn’t mean we’re emotionless now, or never face fear, it just means we don’t have to obey it.
Jeremy Riddle (via worshipgifs)
God doesn’t want religious duty. He doesn’t want a distracted, halfhearted “Fine, I’ll read a chapter, now are You happy?” attitude. God wants His Word to be a delight to us, so much so that we meditate on it day and night.
Francis Chan // Crazy Love (via worshipgifs)
Jesus loves you, no matter what scars you have, or how many times you’ve pushed him away. He loves you.
(via god-loves-u-sweetheart)
Iron sharpens iron. God wants to use other people to make His change in your life.
