When a person walks through the streets of New York City, nothing is usual, we can often pass unnoticed what is really going on around us and simply pick up where we intended to get to, focusing only on our own desires. Letting go of the opportunities God gives us to be a blessing to others and be blessed. Each day sin and evil increases, and more than ever this world and its creation is screaming in one voice for the soon coming of the Savior and Redeemer. This life is not about us, and the children of God were anointed and called to teach the good news unto the meek, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and proclaim that Jesus Christ is our Comforter!
As I walk through this concrete jungle I see so many faces and rushed footsteps. I can't help but to think, "Where are they going? What do they live for? How is their life like?" Seeing an emptiness in their eyes, I wonder if anyone knows that there is someone who gave it ALL.
As I write, I try to combine every word and share how much God is allowing me to live and witness. Time before my return to New York City, the deepest desire of my heart was and is to develop the same compassion, tenderness and mercy that Jesus expressed in his lifetime. These qualities of Jesus always have captivated me, and my stay in New York will need to develop the heart of Jesus to seek opportunities to share the love of our Heavenly Father with the people He puts on my path. Every day that passes God is perfecting his work and is transforming me according to His character.
I am extremely grateful to the Lord for every single person I have met during my stay in NYC. It has only been a month and I can already see how God is working, not only in this city, but in my life as well.
His,
