A perspective of life I experienced during my prayer walking/travels in Bosnia on May 29th....
My heart wanted to die
Every time it rains in Europe, I believe it is Jesus tears for every dear precious European soul...
and I share in the pain of my Savior's tears...
I couldn't bear the heaviness I felt
My heart was screaming
Overwhelmed at the darkness of Bosnia
and how lost my dear brothers and sisters are
I felt as if God placed all their pain, sadness, loneliness, depression, addictions, hopelessness and piercing cries on my heart...
on my soul...
The weight just crushed me in such a deeply moving way I have never felt before
I cry for the girl who never felt loved,
I cry for the boy who never knew his father,
I cry for my generation who silently screams at finding purpose and meaning in the precious life they have been given.
My tears and the anguish on my heart, just keep getting stronger
Father God, why have You forsaken Europe?

Powerful thoughts, Aiste. The ministry I worked for just partnered with the Billy Graham team to bring an outreach to Riga, Latvia last week. It was incredible to hear that even in the darkness, there's always hope for the light.
ReplyDeleteEphesians 5:13-14
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
