Another rainy day in Wales....I must say that I am not a fan of the weather in the UK. However, apart from that, my time here is going well. God is using our team in awesome ways. We have built some amazing relationships with the youth of Holyhead. Close to 30 kids have given their lives to Jesus so far! We run three different meetings each week at the church, and God’s grace has been all over them. We have new kids coming to the meetings each time and God always pulls through to encounter them. It’s exciting!
......During one of our prayer sets back in Kona, the Lord showed me a picture that I want to share. He showed me a picture of Him sitting down with me under a tree beside a river. It was the most peaceful setting. He was sitting about 2 feet away from me, looking directly into my eyes. It was almost as though He was looking through my eyes into the deepest parts of my being. He wasn’t interested in anything else other than what was on my heart. His only desire was to hear me talk. He wanted to hear my desires. He wanted to know the areas of hurt in my life. He just wanted to hear my voice.... He was showing me that He cherishes our conversations. Another thing He revealed to me through it was that our conversations never have to end! I believe that this picture is how God looks at all of us. He just wants to sit and listen to us. He is the only one who will never get tired of hearing us talk. Think about this for a second, the God who created the universe wants to sit and look deep into our eyes and listen to our heart’s cry! ....Even when we feel the furthest from Him, He is right there waiting for us to speak. He never gets up to leave the conversation. He waits patiently for us to talk. It is in the moments of uncertainty that we have to stand on the fact that His character never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. His lovingkindness is everlasting. Life can throw all sorts of craziness at us, but God is constant. If we place our hope in anything other than Him, we will be thoroughly disappointed. We can not have a perspective that only focuses on the here and now. We must have an eternal perspective. God’s timing and our timing are so often on different scales. His time frame is eternity.
