Praying for Haiti - My comment and link to an article that will touch your heart and bless your life.

Glory 2 Jesus! This has been the prayer of me and my mother for the past few days as Haiti has inundated every aspect of our lives. May Christ be glorified! “Faint tapping’s of life,” are the mighty echoes of His love. I was very touched by your words Bruce. As I stood in church this morning, worshiping Jesus, I felt the urgency to look around at all the people who surrounded me, no one, with a few exceptions, had their hands raised in praise of Him. I thought to myself about some of the people of Haiti they showed on the news, hands raised in praise to our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and they had just experienced and are still experiencing this horrible tragedy. I then thought to my self, here you are, got ready in a nice home, had running water to take a shower, nice clothes to put on, nice car to drive on nicely paved roads (as a PA resident, I will never complain about those potholes again) and a nice church with some of the latest technology in and I am struggling to lift my hands in praise – Wow, talk about u’r wake up call. I couldn’t believe it myself and then at once I was disturbed from my thoughts and brought back to worship by our worship leader who echoed some of the thoughts that I was having – “Faint tapping’s of life.” Glory 2 Jesus! Wherever you are right now, lift your hands in praise of our Savior and pray for Haiti – God is in their midst, in our midst, so let’s praise Him and shout the victory, victory in Jesus our Savior forever!! :)

    Hello Jennifer,
    It truly was amazing to see the hand of God at work in Haiti. I was absolutely astounded at my own selfishness in looking at my own struggles and then viewing these gracious people worshiping Christ in the midst of such struggle and chaos. I pray that the help continues to pour into Haiti as the months go on and that, much like our 9/11, people never forget. I believe that the Lord is going to truly turn this situation around for good and Haiti will rise to glorify God in ways never before seen. Thank-you so much for your comment. I was blessed to see that you are also a writer/author and look forward to reading some of your works. I pray that the Lord continues to bless you in your writing and life.
    In His Most Amazing Grace,
    Marlena :)
