Looking for God
After my quiet time with the Lord this morning, I felt peaceful with my plans for the day. I only had a few errands before I start my new class at prison. This afternoon I will be introducing the guys to Richard Wurmbrand, an amazing man that was in prison in Romania for 14 years for preaching Jesus Christ. We are going to focus on what God calls some of His children to go through to bring the knowledge of Jesus to others. I am forced to look at my own struggles to find the words to reveal Jesus to others. No one wants to be known as a fanatic and yet anytime that we open the subject of God and His love for us to someone who doesn't want to hear, we risk this title and the rejection that accompanys. I am asking God for boldness and love to be everything that He wants and needs from me. So today, I go to prison.

I believe in you mom. Another thought from my Job introduction that I've been chewing on: We gain hope from the God who sees our suffering and shares our pain. Everytime we persist with Job, we deepen our availability and openness to the revelation that comes only out of the tempest... that the mystery of God eclipses the darkness and the struggle. I could say the same for you or Heather: everytime you or Heather or my family persists to experience the pain of life and then see God in the big picture ... a little more peace and joy comes... I hope. Sometimes I know.
Open our eyes to see more of God in the big picture. I am and will be an overcomer
Wow! Richard Wurmbrand! I grew up reading about him. I have almost all his books. Many of them touched me immensely. He also released a daily devotional which I found invaluable.
Richard Wurmbrand in 'Tortured for Christ' taught me that some Christians like me are willing to give their life and risk torture, hunger etc (like Paul) for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ. In Wurmbrand, Hebrew 11 comes alive... Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
Great book, ma'am. I pray for utterance for you.
