Jesus came to set the captive free, and those filled with the Holy Spirit are given that same charge. I am amazed at our God. I have been blessed with a bird's eye view of His working in the lives of others lately like never before. Truly, we serve an awesome God. His ways are indeed unfathomable. And so very sweet.
Where does He desire to use you to bless someone else - to watch Him set them free? GO with Him in the journey. Be amazed at His ability to solve all those burdens you want to carry on your own back. Breathe in the peace that passes understanding as you wait upon God to work in the lives of others. That hunch you have that there must be more to this thing called life is right. There is more to life than working for a dollar and either worrying that it will be lost in this economy, stolen by someone or a quandry to figure out how to spend. Open your hand and your heart to someone around you who is less fortunate and feel the joy of sharing in God's heart! His heart is all about love and giving. Life is not about social justice or socialism. It is about finding the amazing joy of living for something greater than yourself or your social status!
We cannot begin to fathom what God would do if we would only believe, only trust, only get out of the boat of our comfortable lives and go with Him. There is no greater joy or treasure than knowing God and feeling the wind in your face as you see His greatness and healing power poured out on others....and the blessing of it splashing back in your face!

As we have been transferring Dad's old VHS tapes to DVDs, we recently ran across the video of Julia and David's wedding for over 10 years ago. I had forgotten that Uncle Larry walked Julia down the aisle and just how much you both impacted their lives. I appreciate both of your examples of looking for the "God opportunities" with the people around you.
