The Love of God has No Boundaries
(this one will be short)
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." Romans 5:5
One of the sweetest parts of the trip was the time spent with the rescued girls. Beautiful girls, beautiful hearts who were taken out of the worst that Satan could conjure up and brought to safety and ultimately to their Savior. Sweet as our time together was, we didn't say much. You see, we did not speak the same language verbally. However, what we didn't say through our translator, we clearly heard through the love of God we shared in our hearts. From the moment we saw them, we loved them. I may not have known all their names, but I loved them deeply. When we had to say good-bye for the last time we all, the American team and the local girls, wept. A lot. For a long time. In our short time there we made bonds that went deeper than anything superficial. The supernatural love of God that we share brought us to love these girls and for them to love us. It didn't matter that we spoke in different languages. We prayed to the same God, in different language. We sang to the same God, in different languages. It was Heaven.
"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
Revelation 7:9-12
