Bombs exploding in Nigeria, explosions in the Philippines, what a start to Christmas Day. Sometimes I wonder why people have to be so filled with hate that they can't take a day off from destruction. In some previous wars, Christmas was honored by both sides. Not so in modern times. The spirit of murder is so entrenched that people want to kill even at the Celebration of the Most Important Person in history. But then, that's the key right there- they don't know Jesus or even have an inkling about Him.
My heart for everyone this coming year is that there will be a fresh start. That enough of these hate-filled, murderous people will be touched so deeply by Jesus that they melt into a heap and get a heart change. You don't think so? It happened to Paul. That would be Saint Paul- who started off as Saul the murderer of Christians.
God has a way of revealing the truth. He often does it at the expense of our own mindsets. Having a golden Light flush out all the crap in our hearts and minds is quite an experience. I hope one day I will wake up, sign in to my news feeds, and see good news all across the earth. It will probably have to wait until either I go Home or Jesus returns, but I live in expectation. I pray that all of you will live in that expectation as well. A fresh start for the entire world. Wouldn't that be grand!
