December 5, Hurting People

I'm writing this on Thursday afternoon but will publish it on Friday. 

I just got off the phone with a woman who is truly hurting.  99.9% of you have no clue who I'm talking about but she means a lot to me.  Her daughter has been arrested for stealing someones credit card and using it.  This is bad enough in itself but add on top of that the daughter stole a check book and wrote a bunch of counterfeit checks and was just caught for this.  The jail just called and the daughter is three months pregnant.  This baby will be born in jail.  To inflict even more pain the daughter confessed to prostituting her body for drug money the past three months in Charlotte, NC.  This Mom was weeping uncontrollably.  I've never felt this kind of pain over my children.  As we continued talking she admitted not having the money to pay her bills.  Will her other two children have food to eat tomorrow?  Will the electricity stay on? My heart was hurting but I didn't know what to say.  All I knew to talk about was Jesus.  You see this woman doesn't know Jesus. 

I believe God allows all of us to reach the bottom so that we'll look up.  When your in a situation when someone is truly hurting and your not sure of what words to use, talk about Jesus!

Pray with me that God would intervene into the heart and life of this family and millions more.  Pray with me that God will use each person reading this post to be used to reach someone hurting for Jesus.  One last thing, thank God for your family and every blessing in your life.  Stories like this make me realize just how lucky I am.
