“Prayer is about staying in the conversation with The Lord. Evangelism is about staying in the conversation with the lost. Discipleship is about staying in the conversation with the found.” -kww #presencemattersmost #noinvisiblepeople #UNITY

Our God is reasonable and ready-to-reconcile with us.
"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord. "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be like wool." Isaiah 1:18 AMP

My Mom recently told me this song was key in her prayer time as tearfully, she thanked God for His faithfulness…
This is a great song called "Who Am I" and was written by Rusty Goodman in 1965.
Who Am I
Verse: 1
When I think of how he came so far from glory, came and dwelled among the lonely such as I, to suffer shame and such disgrace on Mount Calvary took my place, then I ask myself this question who am I.
Chorus:
Who am I that a king would bleed and die for, who am I that he would pray not my will thine Lord, the answer I may never know why he ever loved me so, and to an old rugged cross he'd go for who am I.
Verse: 2
When I'm reminded of his words I'll leave you never, if you'll be true I'll give to you life forever, I wonder what I could have done to deserve God's only son, to fight my battles until their won for who am I.
With gratitude.

This is surely one of the desperate, non-ending soundtracks of prayer for my own soul...

i remember when I was in high school making some self-centered, sinful decisions that broke my parents’ hearts. So glad they held to the high-road of holiness because that gave me a spiritual healthy place to return once my rebellion left me empty.
Beware parents, of bending or breaking your true God-given convictions because of self-centered, sinful choices your children might make. Taking that road can lead you and them to breaking the heart of Jesus via idolatry.
Deo Volente. As God wills.

Lord Jesus, make me ever mindful in every moment of my life that every soul i encounter will spend eternity either with You or without You. Let my interactions with each person i meet point them only to Your great mercy and love. Amen. -kww

Much of the afternoon, my heart has been unusually burdened for a precious, spiritually-lost soul from my past. It’s been quite painful seeing the broken path of sin and rebellion he has chosen. Yet the Lord gave me an old song of hope to go with my burdensome praying. Maybe it will help you not to give up on lost loved ones in your own life…

Lady Melba: Can i tell you a secret?
Me: Why yes, Mom. What’s the secret?
Lady Melba: My eyes are elevated above earthly things. I’ve set my focus on things above.
* The secret’s out.
