Come To Me

Come to Me. Come to Me. Come to Me….Open yourself to My loving Presence, so that I may fill you with My fullness.

Come to Me when you are weak and weary. Rest snugly in My everlasting arms. I do not despise your weakness, My child. Actually, it draws Me closer to you, because weakness stirs up My compassion – My yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that I understand how difficult your journey has been.

(from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young)

Haiti is hard. Haiti is dark. Haiti is draining.

Living here I see, hear and experience things that had only been stories to me before. Things I knew about but had never experienced personally. Satan wears you down here, especially when you are in battle against him.

The past few weeks I have felt Spiritually drained, like I was running into a wall, trying to give out of a cup that had run dry.

This past week we had an amazing team who led us in prayer and worship nearly every evening; it was so refreshing, renewing and needed. As we sang the lyrics “when I am dry YOU fill my cup” tears streamed down my checks as God reminded me it was that simple. Come to ME and I will fill your cup. Focus on ME and I will renew you. Keep running at that wall and I will break it down for you. Continue seeking ME and I will fill your cup.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. Isaiah 42:3

That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith – that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26

As God continues to challenge, stretch and grow me He shows me more and more how important prayer is; my own personal prayer life, to pray as a team, to pray for each other and to have prayer support. Please, please, please keep me and the team here in prayer. Be praying specifically for Spiritual protection, renewal and strengthening. Pray for protection against Satan and his demons that are so so in this place.
