Last week I spent 5 days traveling through hell’s playground (sex slave industry) in Chiang Mai and Bangkock Thailand. Never before have I ever witnessed human beings treated with such violence and disgust.
What will man not to for the sake of his own pleasure?
Sin strives to strip away beauty and life from all things that are good and innocent.
It would be easy right now for me to feel indignant at the horrors I’ve just witnessed. I’ve held the hands of women that wept as they recounted the rape and abuse they have endured for years and held the children that are left abandoned in the warfare of the flesh. They are unguarded innocent lambs among the ravenous wolves. I must and will do my part to end this war of flesh and innocence but even more than that I must come to a deeper understanding.
I must remember that ANY interaction with another human that has only my vain desires as a focus is just as potentially harmful. All pursuit of happiness outside of God’s plan or Kingdom principles will bring this world into deeper deterioration.
Oh how I long to increase love, beauty, and truth and not just be a fan.
This is my season to make a difference in the lives of the innocent and helpless but also to live a life of kindness and patience in my daily interactions with all those I meet daily.
I must choose love in the face of hate or indifference.
I must choose wisdom even when I am forced to pay the price of another’s foolishness.
I must be kind when others actions feel cold and cruel.
I must give myself away in a million little ways that feel like they don’t matter but in truth make all the difference.
I must weigh the needs of others even more than my own.
This is all so easy to say and hard to do but it is our part in the daily war for light and love.
I am in a state of hyperawareness that bad things happen to good people BUT good people CAN happen to bad things AND make ALL the difference.
When I share the light of God my light becomes brighter.
By giving myself away, I increase and love grows and the darkness has to take one more step back.
One day I pray that my steps become a dance and that as I join others that we will serve as guardians and light dancers.
Light dancers that diminish the darkness for God’s glory.
May God’s goodness become manifest through you and through me today.
