Let my cry come right into your presence, God; provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word. Give my request your personal attention, rescue me on the terms of your promise.
-Psalm 119:169-170
Each day here in Haiti I am seeing more and more of the LIGHT of Jesus. It is truly Him who sustains us. I had the privilege of visiting Well Being Orphanage 2 days in a row, as well as visiting the children at Mother Teresa's Home for the sick children today. With each child that the Lord brings across my path, I am reminded of His unfailing goodness and how He truly meets the needs of His children. I was honored to be part of an answered prayer for food to hungry children. Each time I gaze into one of their eyes, if I take the time to really see, I see Jesus. It's absolutely beautiful and I can't help, but hold each one of them closer--knowing that our Savior is speaking directly through them.
Each moment is worth it--amongst the poor, broken, and dying. It is the love of Jesus that heals. It is He who is speaking and I am amazed! Today, as I was blessed to hold another precious baby and feed her lunch and sing her songs as I held her in my arms, I was overtaken because it wasn't just the little girl who was in front of me. It was Jesus. Jesus was allowing me to minister to Him. This is a concept that I don't fully grasp yet, but am completely captured by. I am captured by the love of my Savior and how all He has and all He is, is completely boundless. He doesn't have limitations and He is drawn to the weak. I am blessed because He is truly answering my prayers by opening my eyes to see Him before me.
As I was leaving Well Being yesterday, some of the children sang me a song. They sang "Open the Eyes of my Heart". As I'm relaying this back to you, I am seeing how the song they sang was my prayer from the beginning and how the Lord has been answering it every step of the way. I can truly say that it is well with my soul. I am amazed and honored by the love that my Jesus brings.
Tomorrow, we will be going to the countryside to visit Respire Ministries in Gressier, Haiti. My heart is overflowing at what I believe the Lord wants to do there. Thank you for your prayers! May you continually remember that Jesus is always more than enough. Peace over each one of you!
P.S. The little girl in the picture's name is Wlove. I call her my "little love".
