let Light shine brightly

Hi Diakonos,

I'll briefly share my thoughts on the past few outings. Each night has been quite different (as many people told me it would be). Even so, the one thing that is constantly pressed onto my heart the entire time is simply that we are in DESPERATE need of Jesus. The homeless people and ourselves too. We all really need our Savior to save us not only from the darkness around us but also from the darkness within our own hearts. It bothers me that my heart breaks so little for the people I encounter. How can I love these people when my heart is so cold?

This past Monday, Albert and I met a guy named Mark who believes Jesus keeps him alive and protects him from harm each day. Praise God! :) He shared that his favorite passage in the bible is Ezekiel 37 - the Valley of Dry Bones. READ IT! I read this passage and wept. God is mighty to save His people. He really is. Let's believe!

-Grace
