Good morning my wonderfully blessed World Wide family! I love you all so very much. It is such a privilege to be able to write to you nice and early this morning. You are all precious and have such purpose and destiny in, because of, and for the Lord. You are “World Changers for Him!”
Dear Lord, I pray for all of these Your children, (whether they are actual children in age or adults). Wherever they may reside in the world, Lord bless them and keep them and guard them with Your protection and Your angels. Let them know You Lord, personally and intimately and know Your joy which is their strength and Your peace that passes all understanding in Christ Jesus. I thank You that in You, we live and move and have our being. Draw all of Your people to You in a mighty way Lord Jesus Christ. Use us all Lord to usher in Your Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. I ask this in Jesus Name and I thank You Lord.
Well I would like to express my deepest sympathy to ALL of the families who lost loved ones in the recent tragedies. I am so very sorry that this is happening in the world. To the families of the 2 gentlemen that were shot; I am so sorry that you are going through this deepest pain.
To the families of the police officers I am so sorry for your loss of heroes that lay down their lives daily to protect strangers and were even protecting the right of those who were protesting on that day.
To the father who spoke out about his son, I am sorry for your pain and loss of your son in a way that you could never even fathom until this incident unfolded.
To the wife of the first victim, when you spoke of your children seeing this on the media and your son broke down on TV, that was heartbreaking. God be with you all and heal your brokenness. It was sad to hear that everyone thought of him as a “Gentle Giant”.
To the family of the gentleman who were in the vehicle when this was taking place, I am so heartbroken for you. I heard that he had memorized the names of over 500 children that he worked with at the school because he wanted them to know that they were special. Wow that is love. God heal you all.
To all of the families of the police officers I am so sorry for your loss. Your husbands took oaths to be modern day “heroes” when they became police officers. They went out daily to protect and serve strangers that they did not even know to make the world a better place. No greater love is there than this that a man lay down his life for his brother. I am so extremely sorry for your losses. God bless and heal all of you.
To the father of the young man who was killed. I watched you on TV express your emotions that came from a place so deep in your soul that few of us have even dared to go there. I am so sorry for your loss of your son on that day and your son that you raised that you did not recognize on that day. God heal you in your deepest pain.
I am not just speaking from sympathy. I can also speak from empathy. I have lost family members to death, even death by shooting and death while being a hero. I have known the pain of seeing a child go so far astray that you cannot even imagine and I know the pain of prejudice from multiple sides.
What I would like to share though is that none of this has defined me because God Himself has healed me. God Himself has set me free. (And those that I fell on my knees with tears streaming down my face day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year-praying for).
There were dark times, times when loneliness and loss enveloped me in its clutches. Times when the seconds seemed like days and the days seemed like weeks just to get through. But….I did get through. Only by the Grace of God Almighty. And You all will also. I will keep you all in my prayers and pray for PEACE. We need peace in this world. Thank You Jehovah Shalom for sending us Your Peace, Your Love, Your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
