Today, I was watching: Call the midwife,
a TV show.
The midwife and nurse went to her filthy home, treated and bathed a filthy hurting woman with
such tenderness and care. She had been in agony on the street for
many years. She was scum in the eyes of the people. Nobody cared for
her at all,
God shared His heart with me,
how He does this with us when we are filthy with sin. Oh
so tender, with care does He clean us up and provide for us what we need.
It broke my heart. I had so many
emotions running through me. How great His love is for us and much we
need to be compassionate especially toward the hurting and
downtrodden. I cried so much, knowing how many are in such pain and agony because of sin.
At the end of the movie the
woman had new clothes and was medically treated and did not look the
same, she was happy and had a good life again, well taken care of by
social services.
This is how God does it for us. He is
our social service network putting the church together to help.
Than last night He gave me 1
Corinthians 10:23+24
All to the Glory of God
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being. 1Corinthians 10:23-24
Just because the law allows us some things and something is available, does not mean its good for us. We should not be too much concerned about "me" but more about "you"
In this movie the nuns where the
midwifes and they totally devoted their lives to God. And when we are
totally submitted and surrenders to God we can be used healing hearts and souls in the most marvelous ways. And it will not be us but Him in us and through us.
Which in turn is a light joke because the burden is His.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:30T
It is the heart of God to care for the widows, orphans and to love God and our neighbors. We need to partake in this love that comes from God. When He sent His own son to die for us, He demonstrated the ultimate act of love. My prayer today: May we have our heart broken only with the burden of God and pick up His yoke only, which is easy. AMEN
Good bye and farewell until next time.
