“Lift up your voice for the speechless” Proverbs 31:8-9
I will have a seven part series on what “only Jesus can give” that will take us through a variety of topics of the much overlooked quality of The fruit of the Spirit as revealed in peoples lives. It is the meat and potatoes of the Christian Life.
When we care for others more than ourselves
“But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant…”
If there is something that our LORD Jesus is able to do; it is responding to a voiceless cry of pain and despair. We are capable of seeing the need and hearing the cry but to respond requires the strength, love, and courage of self-forgetfulness in Christ Jesus.
Then we understand the Mission
The life of Christ and all who would follow Him is one of justice and Compassion for others.
I want us only for a few moments to enter another person’s world of despair with the mind of Christ. I really believe it is important for us to not shield ourselves, as much as we should shield others…
These children (picture top) do not go to school and spend all day in a monotonous search for scraps and handouts.The extreme vulnerability of these young women and children make them a frequent target for pimps, predators and traveling North American pedophiles.
The fearful recompense of God
He says to himself, God has forgotten…
Psalms 10:11
The young women (picture 2 middle) left home to live on the streets because of abuse. Yet they were brought into a brothel by pimps and brought back to the streets the next day. I wont go into detail, so as not to offend your sensitivities.
A true Christian woman (picture 3 middle) explained to us as she cleans the streets at night. “It was 2:00 AM when they came to get the kids and I yelled to leave them alone!!” I believe it was Christ in her, yelling to those pimps to “leave the children alone!!”
The violence, injustice, and evil that pervades the streets at night is like a roaring Lion consuming innocence for the love of money. The two men in the red are pimps (picture 4 bottom) and tour-guides for foreign pedophiles. Read and consider Psalm 10 as a source of understanding with prayer. Lets draw close to the LORD so we have something to offer others. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing of eternal value…
Blogs are so informative where we get lots of information on any topic. Nice job keep it up!!
