This afternoon, we heard of the situation of an acquaintance of ours who is losing their home at the end of the month. We knew there may have been some things going on over the past few months, but the foreclosure is in full swing. They said they were trying to work with the bank, but they keep coming up with loose ends. No one wants to help them.
As I write this, I'm feeling sick to my stomach and my spirit is grieving. We've been in that situation and we know what they must be feeling right now. We wish we had unlimited resources, so that we could write a check and resolve their problems. However, we aren't in a position to offer that blessing right now.
It's disheartening. The anxiety we feel for them is also trying to attach itself to us, because truth be told, there's no reason in this world that this type of situation couldn't happen to us again. Except one.
We choose to believe that Jesus has our lives in the palm of his hand and that no weapon formed against us will prosper. But it hurts to see fellow brothers and sisters suffering. Should we go and share the gospel with them in their time of crisis? Do we offer advice, or simply watch things unfold?
Please pray for a miracle for our friends.
Good Night
