In order to be the hands and feet of Jesus, our hearts must beat in rhythm with His. When we get close enough to hear God’s heart, we are comforted by His love for us, yet moved with compassion by His love for them — for the lost, the burdened, the weak, the weary, the hungry, the sick, the brokenhearted.
Tonight my heart is moved for Mary DeMuth. At the same time Mary was returning from her mission’s trip to Haiti, her daughter Julia was being taken to the hospital. Julia is still in the hospital, in pain, minus a diagnoses. As I read Mary’s updates, I felt strongly that God wanted me to share.
While today should be a day of celebration, as Mary DeMuth’s book, Everything releases today. Instead, I read the words of her most recent update here, about Julia,
I miss Julia as carefree and painfree. I’m tired of fighting. I need your prayers (and I know I have them).
I feel drained and numb and old and scared and bewildered and angry and tired to my bones.
Jesus, please take note of our family. We need You now. We’re wearied.
