From My Heart to Yours:  It isn’t hard to find hurting people in a world that is struggling on several levels.  Recent disasters and economic upheavals have people seeking for answers and peace.  Jesus came at a such a time.  The prophet Isaiah stated that the people that walked in darkness, in the shadow of death would see the light of the promised Messiah.  Today, people are looking for that light.  Jesus is the one who offers not only forgiveness, but love, peace and joy.  The world is crying out for answers, and Jesus is that answer.  We as a church need to be engaged in the work of the Great Commission.  We need to understand and realize all that we have in Christ, and then to be ready to share it with a world desperate to hear.  Our prayers for Revival are offered to place us in the position to receive it so that we can in turn, share it with those around us.  In a time of uncertainty, they need to hear of the unfailing, unchanging and loving God that seeks to save.  In a world that seems to be running from God, it is time that we stand in the gap and point them to Christ.  God is calling out, inviting us to look to Him; to come to Him and find peace, joy and rest.  Won’t you join Him to get the message out to a world desperate for Him?
