MY VISION
I am running to Jesus. I don’t even see the chains, but I know I’m free and I’m running towards him with wreckless abandon. I’m just focused on getting to him as fast as I can. I’m on a beach running into my Jesus’ arms and I jump into them. He picks me up and spins me around as I kiss him on the cheeks and I let him hold me. He speaks lovingly to me and all I want is him.
MY PRAYER
I want to be satisfied only in you. Lord, make me dissatisfied with anything and anyone that isn’t you, that isn’t your love. I need only you and only your perfect love. I want to be single minded, and so in love with your heart that I just can’t get enough of you.
MY ANSWER
God has been redeeming me like crazy and has been doing it through using me to redeem others. I can honestly say that I haven’t seen the Lord move in me this much throughout the whole race. There are many stories from last month where God showed up and spoke through me. I started asking him to transform me and he did that by having me focus outward. The more I kept giving and sharing with people, the more I became like him. I didn’t need countless hours to pray and contemplate my life, I just needed to love a widow, lead people to Him and preach the truth.
I’m craving time with Him like crazy.
MY REALITY
I’m in Thailand doing ministry in the bars and the Lord is still after me and using me to bring His kingdom. I can’t stop loving him and loving his people. Sometimes I have so many emotions I don’t know what to do with them. It’s hard to explain, but when I go out to the bars, I feel saddened, angry, hopeful and full of peace. I want everything to change in an instant. I want to save the girls we meet because they’re hurting and alone. I want the men to change.
It’s not perfect down there, and my life isn’t perfect but I have joy and peace. These are things that money can’t buy and people can’t give me. I know that each time I share my story and the truth of God’s love, I am redeemed. I will run to Him no matter what I feel or what is happening around me. I see Him with open arms ready to receive me and hold me.
MY HOPE
It doesn’t stop there because, I don’t want this joy and peace only for me. I want others to know it too. He’s literally transformed me and I will never be the same.
I believe the God of the universe runs to us, and always receives us when we come to Him. He will always be faithful to fulfill his promises and I am overwhelmed with joy that I no longer run from Him, but I run to Him.
Loving Jesus in Thailand
