I came in the door only to hear the news announcer talk of
things that bother my heart, mind and soul. One man charged with child sexual
abuse. Another caught in child and women prostitution in human trafficking. It
sickens me. Although I will never ever have the mind of an abuser, I still try
to figure them out. Only, this mind can’t wrap itself around the idea of
these abuses. Some may call it a stronghold. I call it sick. I’m sure it is a
mental illness. I wonder if any pimp or pedophile will ever be able to walk
away from these stongholds and obsession. I don’t know. I DO KNOW that anything
is possible through God. But for me, I can only see the impossible. In my
strength I would want to decapitate these violators. Death penalty isn’t even
good enough. But I am not God. I can’t perform the miracle. I can’t do anything to punish any of them. And it’s not my job to do so anyway.
Just before I came
in the door I heard a song on the radio. Be One. Be what? Be the miracle. Be
the change. Be the hope. It’s time to get our hands dirty. Be the actions of
change. I can’t change the person who does the evil. Neither can you. But we
can get involved in the prevention. In the education. In healing. In hope.
Is there something on your heart that you know you cannot do
alone? Do you have the desire to make changes in a world of corruption? What
about in your family? What about in yourself? Is it time to let God help you be
part a miracle? Be one through Him.
Father, I know my
mouth has been quiet lately. I could make up all the excuses but you know my
reasons. We all have answers to why we step back and let others take over. I am
sorry for the delay in the work You have called me to do. Please help me to
have the strength to fight against these evils. Thank You for supplying the
rest I have needed through the pauses. But now, Father, I am ready to put on
the shield and work again.
I pray, Lord, for
those who also seek to be part of the solution of whatever task you set before
them. Let us all find the desire to work miracles through Your Holy Spirit and
Your awesome power. If the miracle is in giving hope to those who can’t heal,
let each of us reach out our hands, hearts and prayers to touch. For those who
need the miracle, may we be one.
In Jesus Name, Amen
