My heart is broken.
But I thank the Lord for opening my eyes once again and making me aware of just how low and broken this world is. Something that major should not be hard to forget, but it is. It is like I become numb to the problems of this world. And it is not until the Lord shows me right there in front of my face how bad things are, and only then does the numbness begin to wear off. The problems people face are so real, the sin that people are slaves to is so real. It cannot get any more real than that. I never thought it was going to be easy to be a Christian, but I also never realized the strength it takes to go through a day where you are constantly being persecuted. Right now I am praying for the people in this world, for the "Christians" that need Jesus in their life more than ever, for the people who have seen and tasted His glory to make it more prevalent in their life, for the people who have His Words tattooed on their body to come to the realization of what those words mean. I'm praying for the people who repeatedly use my Fathers name in vain. This world needs Jesus more than ever now, I need Jesus more than ever right now. "I seek You with all my heart; do not let me stray from Your commands." Psalm 119:10 I want to make this verse my prayer. That we will all seek Him with all of our hearts, and that we will not stray away from His commandments just because our society ways go against it because that's the point. We are not supposed to be of the world, but we need to be in it to be that light. I do not want to gain this whole world because my Father in Heaven, my hope my joy, my strength that He provides me with is much more important than the "norms" of this world. The life that I have been given is a privilege and I am going to use it to the best of my abilities in honoring what the Lord has set for me.
"The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, He saved me."
Psalm 116:6
Pray for this broken world,
Kelsey
