Guidance

Today was another great day serving with Lifeline. It started off with a wonderful church service. I was so blessed by the words that were spoken about God guiding you. After church the day got very hard. We went to one of the tent cities in Titanyen and handed out 27 tents to people who were very deserving. It broke my heart to see all the people there who had literally nothing! Their tiny make-shift tents were made up of sheets that had holes in them. It's hard to believe that the earthquake happened five months ago. There's still such a great need!




One thing that surprised many of us was the order that they had there. Never was there a time when we felt unsafe. A man named Jonas was their leader. Amid all the chaos of homelessness, there was peace. The little children looked after one another. The adults all joined together to help build tents for each other. They seemed to have become like a close knit family.





When we finished we gathered together for a time of prayer. A lovely woman came forth and sang the song "The Love of God." It brought tears to my eyes as I heard her sing the lyrics "Oh love of God, so rich and pure. How measureless and strong. It shall forever more endure the saints and angels' song." Her trust in God's guidance was inspiring. She doesn't know where her next meal is coming from or when she'll have a house again or if she'll ever have a house again, but she trusts in God's love and his guidance. What a lesson to learn. Oh for grace to trust him more!
