{Holiness}
All ye heavy laden. All ye heavy hearted. All ye heavy burden come the Lord will give you rest. Come he will give you rest.
Come and be filled. Come and be healed. Come and be filled, by the Spirit of the Lord.
{All Ye}
Isaiah 25:1 “O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.”
Psalm 34:1-5,8 “I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. Sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.”
Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”
This world is dark: we believers and children of God contain this radiant light of Jesus that covers all darkness. Shine Gods light for all to see his love and goodness. Our God reigns forever.
This week:
Monday was our last day at the Timbutini carepoint. The children were filled with their forever-containing joy and smiles. These children are all unique. They radiate. Holding a hand, holding one (or several) in your arms, sitting beside one and or many changes you. It makes you HAPPY, filled with humility, blessed to be right here in Swaziland with all beautiful children. Before leaving the carepoint I prayed with Tigezile and her friend. I continue to pray protection over them. God is their shield. I pray Gods faithfulness and God to satisfy and provide for all. These young girls to grow up set apart from darkness and to live in the light of Jesus. God to guard their minds, souls, and bodies. He protects.
Tuesday we went to Manzini: at Hope House, Tara and I visited Khosi! She was up walking. A few things she kept saying “Walk not by sight, walk by faith.” Gods healing day by day. She is ready to go home and be with her daughter. And ready to go and share to all who are sick that Jesus is Alive and He is Life! I believe in Jesus Christ, Khosi will be a testament to many and spread Gods glowing Light and His Truth. At the hospital, James was discharged praise God! James is a young boy who was in a motorcycle accident and has been in the hospital for weeks and weeks with a fractured leg. There were a brother and sister in the hospital with broken femurs (both of them/from a door falling on them) the past weeks visiting the hospital. Last week they were both discharged. This week the boy was back with manipulation and the doctors had to break the bone again (what his mom said). It breaks me seeing children with their legs or arms in a sling hanging from a rope attached to weight on the other end. A baby girl broke both her legs. Pray for these little ones! They need quick healing! Visited friends at the market. They are so happy and filled with joy. My friend Ntombikayise (I call her Goodness) has a glow that is brightened by her eyes. Goodness goes to Hope House sometimes. She said she loves bringing fruit to all who live there and she enjoys visiting, telling and listening to stories and laughing along with those at Hope House. I can see all the joy and encouragement she offers to those!
Wednesday we went to the Bhekililalnga carepoint. The preschool teacher wasn’t there, the young ones were though!
Thursday (I tired to upload this blog) We went into the city. Jillian and I walked around the flee market, we walked to Imvelo Eswatini -website http://imveloeswatini.com, and walked to the market and visited with many friends.
Friday we finished painting a Gogo’s house we started last Friday. I spent time at the store in Timbutini and talked with the man I mentioned in a previous blog. He had his own little New Testament Bible, we read through Romans 8 and talked about what sin is. He was on drugs again, that doesn’t stop him from speaking Gods word and many references of scripture. He talked about living in darkness and he wants to live in the light. I told him he is the only one who can change and live in the light of God. I know this man is broken but brokenness can all be restored with Jesus Christ.
We are MOVING SOON to Nsoko. Tuesday we leave Timbutini and Thursday we will arrive in Nsoko, where we will be spending the rest of our time in Swaziland.
God is continually opening my eyes and breaking me for what breaks him.
