Now is the Time
Now is the Time
Rapsodie Adams
I remember well, a time in my life that I felt all alone, I had no hope, and no one to turn to.
I hated the fence that surrounded the children’s home. Hey don’t cry for me, I had a bed – three hots and a cot, as they say. But it only served to remind me of a dog pound. Just like the dogs in a pound, who are not wanted, we too were just a bunch of kids, no one wanted. No matter our color or origin (we were all color-blind) we just loved on each other. We learned fast that there was no love coming from any other source; not inside the fence and definitely not from outside the fence. I wish I had known at that time, God had a plan for me. I could have shared it with all of those scared and lonely kids.
It makes me sad that I didn’t know Jesus, back then. But it brings such joy to my heart, to know Him now. Now I can share Him and give hope to all of those who don’t know where to turn, those who are all alone in this loveless world. I want you to know, God has a plan for your life and it consists of a whole lot of love; oh, I know what you are thinking when I was told that, I could not understand either. But I will tell you this, you can experience it for yourself. All you have to do, is believe what is true.
A Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for all the different testimonies that you have put in my mouth. You have brought me through so much hurt and pain. I give you all the glory. I know the love that you have for this lost and dying world (for I was part of it). And, I know I was a stubborn and rebellious child, but you showed me your love. Help me to show the love of Christ, so much so, that they do not see me, but it is you – that they see.
Be blessed in Jesus’ name.
