Before I came to know the Lord
when someone said they were praying for me
I took it to mean that they saw a deficiency in me
I didn’t really think it made much difference
if they prayed for me or not
because I had fallen short of pleasing God...
The Heart of a Missionary
hose of us who dream of setting the captives free
by laying hands upon blind eyes that are opened and see
or who understand that the greatest miracle is the salvation of man
are the missionaries that Jesus has anointed
to preach the good news of the gospel of peace
to reach into broken hearts and start the process
of resurrection of the dead in spirit
to the glorious new life in Christ...
Sensitive
As the flesh of a man dies
his spirit becomes more obvious
there is a luminosity about him
so often, as I have held the hand
of a person dying, I felt as though
I was quite close to God
when the worldly man is transparent
you can sense the workings
of his heart
and so it is with those of us
who have dedicated our lives
to Jesus...
