This isn’t a place where I feel led to share my testimony. And the children aren’t waiting to have a theological discussion. So I ask GOD to be my words. For HIS Truth and Love for them must be shared in a way that they can understand. It must be done gently. It must be given with a sincere heart. And above all, HE reminds me to keep it simple, for it is HIS Love.
Our team began to pray over the area and the buildings at the Remar Center. I greeted the older girls as I passed them and felt led to ask them to join me. Willingly they did, and I began to explain to them what we were doing. We placed our hands on the walls, on the gates, on the bunk beds, on the doors, on the playground equipment, on the books and desks, in the kitchen, in the living room, and on the balcony that overlooks the entire area… and we prayed aloud. Each prayer was different, but they were simple prayers for protection, for peace, for wisdom, for joy, for rest, asking GOD to fill this area. Sometimes the girls repeated what I prayed, and other times they added their own. It is simple. It is HIS Love.
I write letters to Lucia. And within the letters are scriptures we discuss. We read them together and she folds the letters and carries them in her hand. As GOD leads me to scripture to share with her, HE keeps it simple. HE doesn’t want to confuse her with things that she has yet to learn, but to invite her to simply embrace HIS love for her and to be open to HIS teaching and guidance. It is simple. It is HIS Love.
HE invites us all to commune with HIM. I praise HIM for the simplicity of HIS unfailing, unconditional, deep consuming Love and the Spirit that teaches what we alone will never grasp. It is simply HIS Love.
Psalm 86:11-13; Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me…
