When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
-Mark 2:17

Last night as I sat in the E.R. with Cynthia and Metal head waiting for the test results I read her Deuteronomy 31:6

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.

You will neither fail us nor abandon us. How do we keep going in this world FILLED with pain and brokenness? Because I trust Your word Jesus. Because it HAS to be true! I cling to Your promise. I have faith that You can, want, and will save us. Because I know You see and love my brothers and sisters struggling with chemical addictions living on the land. Because I know You see and love my brothers and sisters in Zambia dieing of HIV, malaria, and starvation.

You have to save us! You are our one and only hope! I believe You when You say to come and have rest. I trust in You Jesus.

I trust that when Cynthia breathes her last breath in this life that she will receive rest. Rest from abusive boyfriends, negligent parents, custody battles, alcohol, and physical pain. And not just for Cynthia but for all of the meek, for all of the hurting.

for all those who know they are sinners, for the sick, for those who NEED a savior.

You came to save those who are hopelessly in need of a savior. And I KNOW You WILL save us.
