And so I wonder

So I sit here, once again, in my living room as I listen to the reports of another earthquake - this time in Chile. Tsunami warnings for over half the globe including Honduras. Gratefully the earthquake hit in a center that has good earthquake buildings and modern medicine. However...as I looked at the pictures of Chile that are flooding in I can't help but reflect back on my time in Haiti. Tears came to my eyes as I saw all to familiar pictures of crushed cars, people crying for the loss of a loved one. And I wonder. God is calling to us. Calling to us in His majesty. Calling to us to come to Him. He is the ONLY hope - the ONLY way - the ONLY salvation! So I pray for those in Haiti. I pray for those with sorrow in my heart for what they are still going through. I pray for those in Chile who have lost loved ones and I know that God is calling out. Calling to His people. Calling out to those who aren't His. Come to Him. Seek His face and He is yours! He loves you - all you need to do is love Him back and seek the embrace that is reaching out to you! Come, Lord Jesus...Come!!!

Even as I wrote this my dear friend Mindy sent this to me via e-mail:

Psalm 22:24
For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one (Haiti); he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. (He is going to care for His children)*

Psalm 71:20-21
Though you have made me (you) see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again (new normal cause you will never be the "same"); from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

I love my dear friend - she ever reaches out to me when I am troubled, and am humbled by those who care to listen to this broken vessel of God. He calls...I answer...His Saints lift me up. Praise God! 'Nuff said!
