Sojourn to Transformation

Weary
"I come to you broken and weary. The weight of the world too much to carry."-Mandy Dawson.

This is a line from a song I wrote a year ago, and its how I feel today.

Maybe because I've been ill for a few days. Responsiblities are building up and I feel too tired to take care of everything that I need to do.
Then, yesterday, I stumbled on the family website for Shiri, who was killed in a suicide bombing. I watched a video and listened to her sing, and I was overwhelmed by her smile; by the presence shining from her face.

I couldn't stop thinking about this injustice. When you start thinking about all of the atrocities that take place every day, it becomes overwhelming.

So much worldwide. So much next door. And I wonder, what can I do? What should I do? What will I do?

What can combat such darkness, evil, hate? Who can wage this war and win? We know the answer. We know Him. He is light, goodness and love. His love is the only answer.

Give me courage and strength to interceed for Your Light, Your Truth to SHINE. Shine Jesus. Heal the hurting, sick and dying. Signs and wonders go forth to spread the glorious Truth of your love.
YOU ARE THE ANSWER. YOU ARE THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
