Hello everyone...this is a special Sunday morning blog post from our two trailblazers serving on the mission field in East Asia. THere have been many extreme challenges that have faced them over the past week and they have asked me to share with you some of their thoughts. Most of my updates on their circumstances have been posted on Facebook because of the immediate need to dispense the info. Here is their posting in full....please continue to lift them up to the Lord. Ron
From Trailblazers..."Many of you know about my emergency appendectomy and have been thinking (praying) for my healing, for our family and for our baby. I am so thankful for that! Your prayers have surrounded us with love and He has given us the strength to continue on. I was writing down some of my experiences and how He has spoken to me in this time when I decided to look back at some of my previous entries. The Father spoke to me mightily and my hope in sharing it is that He will speak to you also.
A couple of months ago I was reading John 11, the story of Lazarus’s resurrection. The differences between Martha’s and Mary’s reactions struck me. Martha express that she is upset that He wasn’t there because if He had been her brother would still be alive, but then she says that she knows even now the Lord will do what they ask. Martha puts on a brave face, gives a glimpse of how she is feeling and then follows it with a stoic intellectual response. Mary just pours out her heart to Him. It’s after Mary speaks that He is moved, after this He weeps, after this He goes to the tomb, thanks the Father and Lazarus is raised from the dead.
It just struck me afresh that the Father just wants me to pour out my heart and share my pain with Him. He wants me to be real with Him and share my true feelings with Him. He’s the one who will move and encourage me with His promises. He will bring comfort to me. Hope that this encourages you to really open your heart up to the Father and let Him do the work of comfort and restoration that you need!" END
Ron speaking...The song "Pour My Love On YOu" comes to mind as I read this. I want to encourage everyone out there to pour out your best to the Lord. Give Him your heart above all intellectual reasons and let Him be the Sovereign God that He is. He loves you and wants the best for His children. Worship HIm in the pain and sickness and trust Him to work and move, to heal and restore. Have a blessed Sunday!
Ron and Sarah
