JESUS WILL FREE YOU (UPDATE)

UNFORTUNATELY, 
I HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT.

NOTHING NEW, 
JUST THE USUAL PAIN.

BUT THERE WAS A FULL MOON,

AND IT'S TRUE WHAT IS SAID.

A FULL MOON BRINGS OUT LOTS OF BAD.

SO MANY SICK,

SO MANY ILL,

SO MANY SUFFERING,
SO MANY ALONE AND SAD.

I JUST WISH THERE WAS A WAY

TO MAKE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING OKAY,

SO I PRAY.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO
EXCEPT SHARE JESUS
WITH THE HURTING
AND SUFFERING,

WHO ARE GOING THROUGH A STORM 
AND MAY NOT KNOW HIS NAME.

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MANY STORMS - 
BREAST CANCER, 
A VERY BAD CAR ACCIDENT 
THAT NEARLY KILLED HER 
AND KILLED HER YOUNG BABY GIRL 
BEFORE SHE EVEN GOT THE CHANCE 
TO BE BORN.  
SEVERAL OTHER HEALTH SCARES, 
ALL OF THEM SERIOUS, 
STARTING WITH POLIO WHEN SHE WAS TWO.  
BUT SHE HAS YET,
AS FAR AS I KNOW,

FALLEN TO HER KNEES IN SUPPLICATION AND PRAYER.

DOESN'T SHE CARE?
MAYBE SHE LIKES THE STORMS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.

HAS SHE NOT YET
 READ 
THE STORY OF JONAH?

I MEAN, WHO WANTS TO GET SWALLOWED,

THEN VOMITED OUT BY A BIG FISH?
CERTAINLY NOT ME.

I WANT TO HAVE A WILLING SPIRIT

AND GO WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO GO,

EVEN IF IT'S JUST ON THE WORLDWIDE WEB,

SHARING MY STORIES,

MANY, MANY HONEST TEARS BEING SHED.

IT'S HARD TO OPEN YOUR BROKEN HEART 
TO STRANGERS,
PEOPLE I MAY NEVER EVEN MEET
OR EVEN KNOW.

MY PRAYER, AS USUAL, IS THAT I CAN SPEAK TO AT LEAST ONE LOST SOUL

WHO HAS OR IS GOING THROUGH 
THE SAME THING THAT I AM

AND CAN BE REASSURED 
THAT GOD LOVES THEM 
WITHOUT BOUNDARIES,
WITHOUT SHAME,

AND HAS AND ALWAYS WILL 

KNOW THEIR NAME.

GOD IS THE GOD OF YESTERDAY,
TOMORROW, AND TODAY.
HE HAS NOR WILL HE EVER CHANGE.

DON'T PUT YOURSELF BEHIND BARS,
IN JAIL.
JESUS CAN AND WILL
AND WANTS TO FREE YOU.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS OPEN YOUR BROKEN HEART
AND LET HIM IN.

PSALM 27:14 - WAIT FOR THE LORD; BE STRONG AND TAKE HEART AND WAIT FOR THE LORD.

PSALM 34:18 - THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT.
