Resurrected Bones

I've been listening to this song called "Morning Song" on repeat for the last 24 hours. Listen to it before you read, or while you read. The lyrics are simple.

I can feel it in my bones

I can feel it...the Savior's love.

When the light breaks the day, 

All our sins are washed away.

I can feel it.

I'm not alone.

I can feel it in my bones.

In Ezekiel 37, God brought Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones and commanded him prophesy to the bones and to the breath that would breathe into the bones. It's too good not to put all of it here:

4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of theLord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. 

9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. 

11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it,' declares the Lord.”

This was not the first time God breathed life into something. In Genesis 2, God breathed life into Adam and had perfect relationship with man. But the sin of Adam and Eve broke that and death entered the world. Since then, God has had a plan to restore and redeem the world back to Himself. God made a way for us. For me. Sinner though I am, He is wooing me back to Himself everyday. Everyday, God's plan is carried out as the Kingdom is established on earth as it is in Heaven.

God breathed life into the dry bones so that the Israelites would know that He is the LORD (37:6,13-14). Not so He could do something great with them; so they would know He is the LORD. Our mission/identity as Christ-followers is not first to be messengers of the Gospel, it is to know our God. To see the work of His hands and declare "I know He is God." To know it and feel it in our bones that He is God.

God made a covenant with Abraham, promising that he would have many descendants and that every descendant to follow would share in the blessings in the covenant as well. God did not go back on His word. As we read Scriptures, God consistently reminds Abraham's descendants of the promise. In Genesis 28:14-15

"And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places where ever you go, and will bring you again into this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you of."

Jesus promised this again before He goes to His death on the cross.

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 

And He said it one last time before He ascended into heaven.

"All authority on heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded of you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age." 

This is redemption and love. God breathed into my dry bones, rose me from my grave (Ezekiel 37:12), gave me life again and made me a solider (Ez. 37:10). God breathed life into me and sustains me with that breath every second He wills for me to be breathing on this earth. Because of this, I will spend every breath that I can making all of this known in a world that is breathless, therefore, lifeless without Him.

God is alive and active. He continues to breathe the same breath into me today as He did when He awakened and revived me heart to Him only 7 years ago. My Creator did not create me to die. He created me to live. In John 10:10, Jesus said: 

"I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly." 

I can feel it in my bones. These are the bones that know today that I am not alone. The One who breathed me into life dwells so richly in me that the depths of my bones and the innermost parts of my heart know that He is who He says He claims to be. 

Acts 28:24-28:

"24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being. 

I feel it in my bones. This is not of my own volition. It is because a bloodied up and beautiful Savior hung on a cross. His ribcage torn apart rendering Him unable to breathe. He breathed his last breath as a human to make a way for my last earthly breath to be the beginning of eternal life. With his last breath, He cried out "It is finished." But His death was not final. His death is the only one that brings life. 

Romans 8:14-17

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him [the Spirit], we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

I can feel the Savior's love in my bones and cry out Abba Father because the Spirit of the One who hung on a cross lives in me and cries it out first. And He's my Jesus. 

By HIM, we live.

Deathless Life

Who am I that God is mindful of me? Who am I that He would provide a way for me to have a relationship Him despite my sin? The Son was forsaken by the Father so that I could be called a child of God. So that I could know my heavenly Father as Abba. Deuteronomy 10:14 says:

"To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affections on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations--as it is today." 

God's love for me, and for you extends across oceans. His love could break down walls like Jericho's and could move mountains like Everest. He set His affections on me. On ME. Sinner though I am, He said...YOU, I will die for you and claim every sin as mine. God said, I will give my only begotten Son in exchange for nations. And His death will save you and bring life. Hebrews 7:25 says: 

"Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." 

I know all this by grace and through faith. No amount of logic or strength of man will ever be able to provide me with the willpower God gives me through His grace. (sidenote: because of this, it is not a willpower I can claim as my own). Grace is not given by merit or by willpower of ability. Grace is provided for those who will simply say "yes" in faith to believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. God loves me. But my sin kept me separated from that love. So He sent His Son to die on a cross for my sin. He forfeited His deserved glory and thus made a way for me to know my Father. Jesus' death was a direct result of my sin. Jesus' resurrection was a direct result of God's love for me and desire to know me. And all of it was to free me from the sting of punishment for my sin. Read these words and tell me that it doesn't change your life how true they are. 

"Before the throne of God above,

I have a strong and perfect plea

A great high priest whose name is love

Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands

My name is written on His heart.

I know that while in heaven He stands,

No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair

And tells me of the guilt within,

Upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end of all my sin.

Because a sinless Savior died,

My sinful soul is counted free

For God the Just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb.

My perfect, spotless righteousness.

The Great unchangeable I Am

The King of glory and of grace.

One with Himself I cannot die.

My soul is purchased by His blood.

My life is hid with Christ on high.

With Christ my Savior & my God."

"For God the JUST is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me." 

Mind blowing and life-changing truth for you and for me. My pastor once said, "no amount of motivation and/or encouragement will change a person. Only TRUTH can change us." The truth of God pardoning me and looking on Christ to do so changes my life. It changes everything. 

"One with Himself I cannot die." 

My body is not eternal and it will die someday. But I will not die. My soul is forever. One day, my soul will truly find rest in God alone (Psalm 62) because He brings all things to completion. Both in this life on earth and in eternity. One day Christ will return and I will be given a new body. I will be able to bask in the glory of my God in heaven the way I bask in the sun here on earth. I will share in Christ's glory. 

Though able to stand before my Abba, I will be inclined, and rightfully so, to fall on my knees in reverence. But my Father will lift my head and say "enter the joy of your master" (Matthew 25:23). He will embrace me and say "Welcome home." I will not suffer death because death no longer has the final say. Jesus conquered death in his death and resurrection. Because of that, and by grace through faith...I will live a deathless life in Christ. 

All of this is done to restore creation back to the Creator. As the kingdom is built in me and through me, through all of God's children...we will see more and more of God's original unbroken kingdom come. What a privilege that I get to play a small but significant part in that restoration process. I will falter and fail. I will be selfish and prideful, but what God sets into motion, no man can thwart. All that was lost will be found. All that was tarnished will shine in the light of His glory. Order will be restored and all of creation will worship as it was created to worship. All things will be made right again! 

Praise the Lord, oh my soul!!

Surpassing Worth

There is nothing visually beautiful about a crucifixion. Yet, Jesus' crucifixion the most beautiful event in all of history, and will remain so until He comes back. The physical pain he endured was nothing compared to the weight of sin He carried. The weight of our sin. I will never comprehend that pain. It's like experiencing every sin I've ever committed in one moment. It makes me want to throw up. But Jesus endured that for me and for everyone in ONE moment during the passion. That's anguish. 

Our English word for anguish or agony comes from agape, which describes God's deep and pure love for us. Agape is the most intimate love. The implications of it are life-changing and soul-shaking. 

The anguish in Jesus as he hung and bled on the tree was that He loved us SO much that it hurt him. It PAINED him. Isaiah 53:10-11 says: 

"Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; 

he has put him to grief, when his soul makes an offering for guilt, 

he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; 

the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 

Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; 

by his knowledge shall the righteous one, 

my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, 

and he shall bear their iniquities."

"Out of the anguish of his SOUL." This is what holy anguish looks like. It's an excruciatingly beautiful love. It's painful love. 

About a week ago, I came back to the States from a week long vision trip to East Asia. As my friends were excited about being back in the West, I kept thinking to myself "I want to go back home to East Asia." I don't hate America so please don't hear me saying that. East Asia is my heart and it's my home. Ask me to explain it and you will not have a definitive answer. I can't give one (but please ask me about it sometime!). Out of the anguish of my soul, I love this place. But I have no idea when I will get to go back and it feels like I have to sacrifice it.

Are we willing to sacrifice something we love out of the anguish of our soul? If all I'm left with is Jesus...will it be enough? By His grace...YES. Certainly. 

If Jesus loved me out of the anguish of his soul and loved me so much that He extended open hands on the cross to be nailed, then surely, He will enable me by grace to open my hands to Him. 

Even if it means sacrificing that which I love out of the anguish of my soul, it's worth it because I would still be left with the one thing that matters most: Jesus. Even though I will falter in believing these things, I know that whatever God fills my hands back up with will be good because He is a good Father. 

It's easy for us to play the game of "If I just had _________, then my life would be _________" For me, it's "if I just had East Asia, then my life would make sense and have more meaning." This is a big, fat lie. If I had the perfect ministry and made millions...the best thing in my life would STILL be Jesus. If I graduated with a 4.0 GPA with $0 in loans, the best thing in my life would STILL be Jesus. If I had East Asia...the single most important and best thing in my life would STILL be Jesus. 

Are you getting the picture? King David once said "Because your love is better than life, I will praise you" (Psalm 63:3). Do you believe this? Do I? 

I love East Asia so much and the burden is so heavy that I literally feel it sometimes. The anguish can be paralyzing and I often find myself kicking and screaming and wondering why it feels that way. I know God has a wonderful plan for my life but I wrestle everyday with what I believe God is asking me to steward, which is this burden for East Asia. I ask "What am I supposed to do with THIS?" Or "What does this mean for my life." And yet...God continues to say "Stop. This is not about you, Jenny." 

God is weaving together a tapestry much bigger than anything we can see or imagine. Even though our lives are quick and we seem small, we are utterly SIGNIFICANT to complete the picture. Our lives are not our own. They were bought with a price. If we get caught up in thinking that we're the center of the tapestry we will miss out completely on the beauty of it all. God didn't create us to miss out on beauty or His greater plan. He created us to first know Him, love him and be loved by Him. And second...to emulate it in Him and to bring it to the ends of the earth.

I want to be a part of the tapestry, not believe the lie that I have my own. Yes, God's plan for my life...for YOUR life...is incredible on it's own because HE is the one planning. But it's even more incredible because He is using it in his redemptive plan. 

I don't want to miss out on being a part of this because I'm caught up in my tunnel vision of my own life. I don't want to miss out on it because I'm focused on the mission before the Savior. It's not okay for me...for us to get excited about the cause of Christ and not get excited about Christ Himself. We cannot desire only to do ministry like Jesus. We must first love the one who ministered to us. 

Of course, do ministry like Jesus and live like Him. But if we want to be like Jesus and live like Him, we cannot simply follow Him on the roads in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. We must also follow Him on the road to Gethsemane and Calvary. These imperfect little deaths we die point towards the perfect Jesus who said we must carry our cross daily and deny ourselves and deny ourselves of the things we hold so dear. God wants to bless us and give us people, gifts, etc. But not at the cost of our relationship with HIM. 

The reality is...NOTHING is better than Jesus. 

"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth 

of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. 

For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things 

and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him,
not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,
but that which is through faith in Christ
--the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.
I want to know Christ -- YES, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, 
attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained this or have I already arrived at my goal,
but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

- Phillippians 3:7-14

Prayer: The Work of Missions

John Piper gave a sermon in 1988 (a year before I was born!) about life being war. The following thoughts are all from the sermon.

Life is war. If we believed this, we would live differently. Satan targets unbelief and tries to create faithlessness.

We are not fighting a worldly war. During war, we are more cautious and frugal. Because of this we need armor. We must put on God's armor. And one of most powerful devices we will use during war is prayer.

Prayer is not a civilan device. The #1 reason why prayer "malfunctions" in the hands of believers is because they try to take a war-time walkie-talkie and turn it into a domestic intercom by which they ring up the maid for another pillow. We have tried to use prayer in luxurious places where it won't work or pick up a signal.

John 15:16 -- "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit -- fruit that will last -- and so that whatever you ask in my name, the Father will give you.

God wants to answer prayer when fruit remains. Until we know that life is war, we will not know what prayer is for. Until we feel the desperation of a bombing raid and the thrill of a new strategic sensing, we'll never pray with the Spirit of Jesus.

So what do we do in order to live as praying people in the midst of war?

We embrace the sovereignty of God.

If you don't embrace God's sovereignty, you cannot consistently pray for God to bring a lost soul from death to life. You cannot consistently pray for unbelieving sinners to trust in Christ. If you don't embrace it, you can't be sure nor confident that the cause of Christ will triumph.

Romans 10:1 -- "Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved." 

Can you truly pray like this?

In 1631, English missionary John Eliot crossed the Atlantic into Roxbury, MA. He invested time in prayer and learned the necessary languages to reach the Native American communities in the area. Through years of prayer and work and time, Native American communities began to believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The communities then were known as "Praying Indians."

John said "Prayers and pains through faith in Jesus will do anything."

What is the place of prayer in global missions?

Bring words of life to all peoples, all nations, all places. To spread the Gospel.

The word of God -- the Gospel of the Kingdom -- is the weapon that God designed to use in penetrating the kingdom of darkness and gathering the children of light from all nations and complete His mission.

If you don't pray, God will still work. HE WILL NOT FAIL. But if you don't pray, you won't see the work through Christ's eyes. You'll see it from a worldly perspective.

God reigns over ALL. Do not limit our God to reigning only over America. We belittle His purposes and belittle Jesus death on the cross when we do that. So get it out of your minds that God is a God who only speaks English.

2 Thessalonians 3:1 -- "Brothers, pray for us, that the word of God may run and triumph" 

So we must pray..."Father, in accord with 2 Thessalonians 3:1, today in my life and in the world, cause Your word to run and triumph. Amen."

Prayer is the walkie-talkie on the battlefield of the world. It calls in to ask for the accurate location of the target of the Word. It calls in to ask of protection of air cover.

PRAY FOR THE VINDICATION OF THE CAUSE OF CHRIST.

_______________________________________________________________

Will you take up your place in the kingdom? Will you pray for believers hearts to be revived? Will you intercede on behalf of those who cannot pray for their Gospel-starved souls to be fed by salvation in Christ?

Will we rise up as if we are the generation to see the Great Commission completed? We cannot accredit ourselves as worthy of seeing it completed. If we see it, it will be because God said "It was finished on the cross. Now it's THE time."

I don't know about you, but I don't want to miss out on this. I cannot limit my world simply to campus ministry, to Madison, WI or to America. Nor can I sit idle. We are not people who go and save the world. We are people who GO because God calls. And we get to watch as Jesus saves the world. But only if we are faithful to answer.

Pray for the harvest. So much of the soil needs tilling. But many patches of the world's harvest is being tilled and simply needs someone to say yes to being a harvester. So let's pray and let's be a part of seeing the Great Commission fulfilled.

Good and Faithful

Today, I remembered that I am loved by Jesus. 

I am loved and redeemed. I have a purpose. My heart bleeds with a deep passion for music and a deep longing for redemption because the Savior of the world bled on the cross. His pain protected me from eternal separation. His love was lavished upon me as he bled. His scars saved me from certain death. His Spirit given to me when He ascended. 

I have life because He died. I am risen because he rose from the grave after three days. I can laugh because He is joy. I long for love because He is love. I cry because He is so good that it's painful. His love HURTS. 

I remember Jesus and who He is because He remembered me many many years ago when for the joy set before Him to know me...He said yes to the cross. Every day He remembers me as He intercedes on my behalf. Every day, He loves me. He doesn't do it out of obligation or habit, but out of a kind of love that does not exist here. 

It's a strong love. Unwavering with no conditions. Inexplicable without flaws. Incomparable to any earthly love. Real and scandalous. Heart-wrenching and death-defying. Affirming and full. Explosive and life-giving. 

When I sin, I can be confident that when I look at Him in confession and repentance, He looks at me and says:

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine." (Isaiah 43:1)

His grace abounds. His heart overflows to me and in me. His Spirit intercedes for me. Nothing can separate me from the love of my God through Jesus Christ.

I am more than convinced that there is nothing greater than this.

At the end of all things, I will answer to what I have done. What I haven't done. Who I was. 

My earthly rewards will not matter. My title as an intern with one of the biggest Christian non-profit organizations will not be acknowledged. God will not be impressed with my musical talents or how many times I led worship. My salary, or lack thereof, will be insignificant. 

What will be acknowledged is the love I had for Jesus in all things. God will look at me and ask the question..."Did you love Me? And did you love my people?" 

"Well done good and faithful servant. Now enter the joy of your master." (Matthew 25:23) 

God, the JUST, is satisfied to look on Jesus and pardon me. I'm reminded tonight that Jesus is the true good and faithful servant. And one day, I will be a co-heir with Christ, the one I nailed to the cross. I will share in His glory, even though I deserted Him time and time again for the fleeting joys of sin.

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1)

"I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live." (John 14:18-19)

If this isn't grace and love, I don't know what is. 

I am safe in His keeping. I am loved and known. I will never be alone. For Yahweh, Author and Perfecter of my faith has promised me love and grace. He's dedicated to me. He's faithful to me despite my spiritual adultery. He will never leave me or desert me.

Carrying to Completion

God doesn't exist outside of His own plan for our lives. He's not off taking care of something while we wait here for Him to do something for us, with us. He is Emmanuel. God with us. 

When he places burdens in our lives and brings forth passions and gifts we didn't know we had, it is not for our purposes, but for His. He says "Here! Use this holy anguish and burden for my sake." He says "I will be with you to the end of the age." He says "I am HERE." 

He hasn't paused in His plan for me. He hasn't forgotten about me and my deep desire to see my dreams and passions and burdens come to completion. 

"In all my prayers for you, I always pray with joy 

because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 

being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you 

will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." 

-Philippians 1:4-6

As I wait, He waits with me. He will bring things to completion. Every holy burden, every passion...HE will carry it on to completion. 

I will not carry it to completion...but HE will. 

He will do a good work in me, in His people and bring it to completion for the greater completion of the Great Commission. And as I wait, I don't want to miss out on what He has for me because I am distracted the deep desire to see completion now. 

He hasn't forgotten me. He knows me. I'm His daughter. Of course He knows me. 

He will make something beautiful from my life, from your life. He will take open hands and fill them. Open your hands...and let completion happen. 

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 

See, I am doing a new thing! 

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? 

I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert." 

- Isaiah 43:18-19

He is not distant. He knows me, He knows you. He is with us. As I battle sin and pray for freedom and pray for chains from sin to be broken, He is with me. 

"Let us know the LORD; let us press on to know the LORD. 

As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; 

he will come to us like the winter rains, 

like the spring rains that water the earth." 

- Hosea 6:3

God Has Not Forgotten

An hour ago, not one but TWO explosions occurred at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Two were killed and more than 80 were injured. It's currently unknown if the explosions were accidental or planned by someone. Either way, my first thoughts: Why, Lord? I don't get it. How do we mend things like this?" 

The answer: We don't. He does. He does everything. When we feel "broken," and recover from it, we are being made new. Our role is to respond in prayer, to respond in faithful obedience to the One who died so ALL people and all things could be made new. 

"I know God has not forgotten all that's lost and broken

So come and see the turning of the tides.

Come and see His sons and daughters rise.

For how could He who did not spare His Son,

not freely give us victory against the darkest of nights?"

In the words of my friend Marc Nettleton, "This is not the way our world was supposed to be. Everything is broken. But that doesn't mean we ought to give up hope. In fact, these events make life and this world matter all the more. There's urgency. Because this is not the end. All of this. all the brokenness is going to be undone. It will be redeemed. It will be reconciled. It will be treated with absolute justice. And it is all the more urgent because everyone on this earth will give an account. An account that will either point to the Cross as our only hope. . . or will point to our self (and the pile of evidence proving our own culpability in creating all this brokenness)."

“Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord." - Jeremiah 1:17-19

One day, all will be unbroken. Things will be made right.  This isn't a plea for world peace. It's a plea and prayer for restoration and complete rescue. Soon, the tabernacle will be here. God's dwelling place will be among men, again. We play a crucial part in restoration. By purging ourselves of what is killing us, our sin. By calling God's sons and daughters back. By reclaiming them for HIM. "Get ready..." Yahweh says, for He's making things new and is coming back.

"Behold, I am making things new...Behold, I am coming soon."-Jesus in Revelation 21:5, 22:7

Pray for Boston. Pray for those injured, for healing. Pray for understanding for the friends and families of the two victims killed.
