I've just watched Hotel Rwanda (by myself.....bad move) and I was doing ok. I watched the whole film in silence...in total shock... but with no tears. Girls naked being raped, dead bodies in hundreds, thousands... up to a million. Precious lives being slashed apart with a machete. For what...? Hate? The film finished and it hit me! I wept....in fact I sobbed and I sobbed! It's tooo much was all I could say again and again....this world is too much!
As I cried out to God over the millions of His children's lives that died in Rwanda and are STILL being murdered in Rwanda and all across this world....all I could say was...it's too much!
But it's more than that....as I knelt on the ground & sat with God, more than ever I realised the world we live in and what it is coming too. Things are not going to get better, people will never stop hating on each other. God never planned for this...He didn't plan for any of this! How did we as humans, who were made in His image become such monstrosities? Sin is just soo huge and real in this world...
What can i do...? I'll continue to do what God has placed on my heart to do...and one life at a time we will see restoration and renewal as His children turn back to Him!
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me to preach GOOD NEWS to the POOR
He has sent me to bind up the BROKEN HEARTED,
To proclaim FREEDOM for the CAPTIVES
and release from darkness the PRISONERS,
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favour
and the day of vengeance of OUR GOD,
to COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN,
and PROVIDE for those who GRIEVE in Zion -
To bestow on them A CROWN OF BEAUTY instead of ashes
The oil of GLADNESS instead of mourning
and a garment of PRAISE instead of a spirit of despair.
(Isaiah 61: 1 -3)
What can I say? What can I do?
But offer this heart O lord
Completely to you.....
