O and this is a totally different topic than my last post (which was written this evening...)
but i would like to say that living inner city KC my eyes have been opened. racism still exists. poverty exists in America just as much as in India or Cambodia. drive down one street and for a few blocks its all ritsy white folk and their picket fences, vans and nice big garages...meander a bit and you'll arive to see colored faces in slumlike homes, broken vehicles propped up on jacks and trash littering the sidewalks. Why are we still separated? Lets not fool ourselves into thinking we've gotten over it when the civil war ended, or because Obama's in the office. Jesus alone is the answer to this hatred, division, and prejudice. For in Galatians it says that at the cross He bore every dividing wall of hostility, so reconciling us unto God, as ONE in Him. Im not talking about that spirit of the antichrist, "lets all hold hands and make peace" crap, i just deeply and terribly ache for the day when Christ will return. When He does those who bear his name, alone, will stand. and in His kingdom, we will all be one in His body.
Kimmy walks hours to the soup kitchen in sweats and keds. She hangs out with ex-cons and eats nasty food, and takes the bus. why i am so honored to live with someone as christ like as her, is beyond me, but i am truly honored. maybe someday soon she'll let me come along. (apparently im too rich looking and have no streetsences and would get eaten alive.) i geuss i would be kind of awkward hanging out with pimps but i really would try my best! i will wear sweatpants if i have to! i just want to be like Jesus. i need some serious help, Holy Spirit, help me! I want to "see" things as they are. i want to love. i need annointing i dont have. i think i need to spend some more time in prayer...
