In a world filled with forsaken people you are the change that can give them hope. You are the child of a living God.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

I am a child of the Living God filled with the precious Holy Spirit, which is like a house that sits on an ocean facing hill with its windows opened. ready to receive the gentle flowing breezes. Before our Savior ascended to take his rightful place in heaven he promised to send this precious gift to all who receive him.

One of my favorite things to do is to google earth. I love how you can look at our planet from far away and then slowly get closer, closer and closer until you viewing buildings from the street view.
It's like taking a vacation without spending exorbitant amounts of money.  

I started thinking for a moment what if God our Father is sitting in Heaven viewing our planet from far away. He may see the explosions around the planet as war's and battles break out. He may see whole families being torn apart  by arguments and wars. I'm sure God isn't pleased to see all the bloodshed, all the arguing, all the hatred coming from our little planet 

 God's heart is breaking as he searches for just a remnant who still  believe. 

As he scans the planet, he sees little pop-up messages with one word- 'forsaken'.It seems that people all throughout the planet, filled with feelings of abandonment, hurt, and shame, unable to find God, ready to simply give up. Some of those 'forsaken' people take their own lives, while others may join hate-filled terror groups masquerading as a group who worship God, but in reality are further from the King of kings as one can imagine. 

 One by one he sees hopelessness being spread like a wildfire, burning out of control. As God scans the earth's surface, he occasionally sees those little 'forsaken'signs switching off with the word 'hope'..

As he scans closer to the surface, God sees little pockets of believers scattered throughout the parched hopeless and thirsty  land engaged in fervent prayer for a revival. God remembers the prophets he used thousands of years ago-imperfect men and woman- who were willing to be God's mouthpiece to share his love for them. God remembered that it wasn't the highly pedigreed people who became His mouthpiece, but he remembered the imperfect ones who were obedient and willing to refresh their souls  and bow down at the foot of the cross 

As he watches these small band of believers praying he sees whole communities, once forsaken, now fervently believing.

No matter where you are in this life, what journey you are currently on, or what suffering you are enduring, please remember that you are a child of the living King with the ability to possess the living and breathing holy spirit. 

You are the hope that God wants to use to bring hope to hurting souls.
