These days

Wars and strife on very hand

And violence fills the land

Still some people doubt He'll ever come again

Oh, but the Word of God is true

He'll redeem His chosen few

Dont loose Hope--Jesus Christ will soon decend!

As i saw another link, for another article, on what a terrible state our country of Haiti is in, my heart felt despair. Why do we even bother to try? What difference can we make??  Things aren't getting better. 

Discouraged. 

Negetative. 

Looking for a way out. 

These people are all around us. 

So why don't we leave. We dont' have to be here. We don't have to care or spend our time here. 

But God.

He has called us into this darkness, with HIS LIGHT. We have hope, in Jesus. We have the TRUTH. 

We cannot change Haiti, or anyone. We cannot feed all the hungry, or care for all the poor, or change the hearts of the gangs. 

But we can be FAITHFUL. We can be influencers. Ambassadors. 

TODAY. 

Feed the one. 

Care for one. 

Smile and give thanks. 

Show gratitude for what we have. 

We can live out the Gospel in our marriage, and in our family. 

Will it be easy? Comfortable? 

When was following Jesus ever promised to be that? On the contrary, we are promised hardship if we follow Jesus. We can expect that. 

Maybe we won't change Haiti,  or the world , but will we be found faithful? 

At the end, thats all God is asking.
