Today, I rediscovered my love for the book of Isaiah. Something about this book always grasps my attention, maybe its the way it seems to sing from the pages, all while proclaiming justice and seeking out the Faithful.
I started reading from the first chapter again, and I found the verse that I had been searching for in the last few months:
Stop doing wrong,
17 learn to do right!
Seek justice
encourage the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the fatherless,
plead the case of the widow.
When asking the Lord last August what He had for me, what my purpose and goal in life was, I feel Him softly speak this verse over me. He said, "Taking care of the fatherless and the widow". Now in my heart I knew He was saying this meant more than just what it said. He wanted me to do the very passion He had placed in my heart since Day 1 of my life!
He has placed a desire in my heart to encourage His young ones, those who are growing up without His love being spoken over their lives. The young children who are believing the enemies lies that they aren't good enough, aren't smart enough, aren't beautiful enough, aren't worthy of love. My passion is to speak truth over those lies! I've believed them myself, we all have, haven't we?
It's not just the young children who need to hear those truths being spoke over them! How about the elderly? Those who think their purpose in life never really came. Those who think their life has no more purpose. And those who may never have had the true Truth come to their ears, or maybe they didn't want to believe in the Truth. Truth meaning Jesus. And maybe after living all their life in the dark they don't want to see the Light. But I want to show it to them anyway and let them see how beautiful it is to live in it, through my own example of the freedom I've found in Christ!
May the Lord continue to teach me how to bring His light into the places that only know darkness!
