Please read and pray.

I'm writing today to ask you to please read two posts from Kim's blog: "Hero" and "Let Justice Reign. Let Love Win."  Both will tell you of the story of Esnas, a 19 year old suffering from disease, abuse, and malnourishment in the hospital, as well as another precious one, two year old Sharon.  Both are currently being cared for in the hospital.  The burden is great, but like Kim writes, we entrust them to Jesus.  Please join with many here and pray for their healing in the name of Jesus, and for provision towards their great medical bills.  As you pray, ask God if he would have you give on behalf of Esnas.  Pray like Paul does for the church at Ephesus, that those ministering here would gain deep insight into the Lord's powerful working, the rich gifts of Christ, and the saving knowledge of Him.

"The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,

may give you the Spirit of wisdom an dog revelation in the knowledge of him,

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is

the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious

inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of

his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great

might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and

seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and

authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named not 
only in this age but also in the one to come.  
And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to 
the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all."

Ephesians 1:17-23

We submit to the Lord and trust His ways, for ourselves and for the many who are suffering on this earth, including Esnas.  We are thankful to Jesus for the grace, love, provision, healing, protection, deliverance, and power he demonstrates to us all the time.  I praise Jesus because his love is so compelling, unlike any other, and his power is so great, conquering all, and given freely to me and all who believe.
