JESUS

We are such a small part of this big world.

It only took one hour spent with the children of "Watoto" to remind me of this simple concept. With the lifestyle we are accustomed to, and the day in-day out activities we engage in, it's easy to lose sight of our remote surroundings.

The children put on an amazing performance-African dancing and songs of the Lord's love spoke directly to my heart. My God seems so incredibly personalized, so in touch with my life and my culture. Sometimes I stand in amazement of just how far his love can go. To the children of Africa in times of hardship and disease stricken devastation. To students cramming for exams, overwhelmed with the breadth of knowledge expected upon them. And even to the simple blessing of one's meal, the Lord is present among all of us, at all times.

Amazing.

Inspiring.

Undeserving?

Accepting.

With repentance.

For His love,

His grace,

His name.

JESUS.
