Nine-Eleven

Whenever I hear the words nine-eleven or see the numbers 9-11, I always think just how much our planet needs the Presence of the One called The Prince of Peace.

My friend, Pastor Bill Wilson, from Brooklyn, New York, who saw the Twin Towers falling on 9-11-2001, said this in the aftermath of the terrorists' attacks on American soil: Tragedy doesn't really change us, only God's presence really changes us.

Let us never forget that we really need God's presence, and let our cry have the same desperate tone of King David's prayer recorded in Psalm 51:11: Do not banish me (us) from Your presence, and don’t take Your Holy Spirit from me (us).

ALL JOY!
Grateful
