THIS IS LIFE
at least for now, here on earth, this is life. i just received a phone call from a staff at UrbanPromise, the inner-city ministry i worked with four years ago. one of the youths i worked with was killed in a shooting last night. i was asked if i could go in today to help give counselling and support the rest of the kids. but logistically, i can’t. and i haven’t seen the kids in so long that i don’t know how helpful i would be. the most (and perhaps best thing?) i can do is cover them all in prayer.
God, i feel so helpless. so small. and why You would choose to allow me to step into BlueBoy’s life for that brief summer remains a mystery to me. Lord, give me the faith to live by the truth that You are good, even in times like this. help me not to take any day of life for granted, whether it be mine or anyone else’s. Jesus, i eagerly await the day when there will be no more tears, no more injustice, no more suffering children. may your great commission be fulfilled soon so that this day can happen.
