6 Haitian boys were down by the ocean tonight...we met as they sat together cracking open almonds on the rocks... we talked about how faith was like those almonds...how you have to search for them and pick them up, carry them, and then work to really crack them open right and feast on the good stuff....they went home with 6 treasures in their hands. Brand new bibles with their names written inside the front cover. They left with hope in their hearts. Everlasting, choice morsels of scripture to chew on and consider in their dreams tonight. How they were wonderfully, fearfully crafted for a purpose, for good works that He prepared for them to do before they were even born!
Glorious God in Heaven! How he cares about us all! These boys, adrift in a world of souls as big as the ocean, and yet He desires to meet them here on the shore, to call them by name, to reach their hearts in ways they can understand. A God so big we can never comprehend, and yet He speaks to even the littlest of hearts.
What a wonderful way to take the task they were working so hard at, and use it by example to lead them to Christ. The Lord is indeed at work through you and your family. Praying for you daily, and also those whose lives you touch.
