Its 4:am. I got up to let the dog out so he could barf. Now I cant sleep so I am down stairs in the play room watching TV and cleaning up emails. I just saw an infomercial about kids starving in Africa. I started crying. I asked God "What can I do?, What's my job here?"
Two things came to me. The first was Rhonda's advice to me that I can't solve everyone's problems with money. It's not my job to be a hero and bail everyone else out because money isn't the anwser. The other thing that came to me was my favorate prayer; "Come quickly Lord Jesus. Make all things new."
The one problem, the only real problem, was solved a long time ago by Jesus. All these other small things are just that, small. But Jesus cares for the small things also. He cares for the kids in Africa who are going to die today because they don't have clean water. He cares for Daisy Merrick who at 5 years old is battling cancer. He cares about the kids have all their material needs met but are not loved.
So what am I to do? I'll do what I am doing now as I write this; I'll cry because my heart is broken for these small things. I will bear witness that this is not as it should be. I will declair that a time is coming and even now is upon us when Jesus will make all things new. He will call his children home and he will take away the tears of the broken.
Come quickly Lord Jesus. Make all things new.
