protection

The poor abused baby still haunts my thoughts. Someone will say something and i am reminded of him. I am still for a moment and I think of him. It makes me pause and pray for all children like him still going through the same pain. Prayers to stop whoever is abusing them, for the authorities to find them, for those who know them to turn them in, so these children can be rescued. Prayers for the LORD to act in their lives to save them right now. Pray for one of the LORD's amazing rescue plans. For the LORD to send his angels to do all he can to help them.

It always amazes me that humans can love so much and yet have such a huge capacity to do evil. In knowing good we also know evil. Yet love conquers all because that is who our God is. Through love he heals the most broken of hearts, sets captives free, makes beauty out of ashes, forgives the most horrendous of deeds. His love is unconditional.

My children are asleep. I am thankful for the LORD's protection over us. I never take it for granted. When he answers my prayers I know all glory and praise belongs to him.
