“HEARTS!’

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 581

May 31, 2022//

Uvalde, Texas, and our entire nation and beyond are moved with grief, anger, unbelief, and great sadness at such a tragic waste of God’s greatest gift, life!

We have young people and older who have allowed the forces of hell to influence them to do the unthinkable.

My heart and my eyes cry with grief along with all the families and the entire town as they go through these horrific days and try then to move on into the next days!

As I ponder the rampant evil in our world and the change from an innocent baby to an 18-year-old who had no problem shooting school rooms full of our precious children, I want to share the answer to the raging problem of evil.

Of course, the ultimate answer is Jesus, but I want to talk about the specific answer!

No, I am not going to discuss gun control. No matter what opinion you have on that we will all agree we can do better.

I want us to look at the real need: A HEART CHANGE!

Whether the ugly comes from home life, treatment as a child, bullying at school or elsewhere, abuse of all kinds, neglect, evil video games, music and movies, there is an underlying factor in all of these evil actions. People need a heart changed by the love and power and life-giving sacrifice of Jesus.

Each of us are born with the need for Jesus to be the center of our lives, and we are missing the mark millions of miles when we are not teaching and training our children to trust and rely on the one who made them.

We are created with the freedom to choose and the major thing between good and bad choices is a heart change.

I am encouraged when I see many of our children and youth who have a firm grasp on who Jesus in and who we are as we place our faith and trust in Him and allow Him to live through us.

But my heart breaks as I see so many youths and younger who are floundering about life. What does it mean? They are like paper in the wind, thrown about with everything around them. Trying to be heard, trying to matter!

May the creator God find us laboring and interceding for those who need a heart change!

What does our nation need? What does our children need? What does our world need? A HEART CHANGE! Change from the inside out!

Change that shows us who we are, that we matter and that we are precious and matter to the creator of the universe! Change that shows us we are here for a purpose and our lives matter.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV)
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Children today are seeing violence, hatred, strife, everywhere they turn. This confusion is ripe soil for satan’s deception. We MUST share Jesus and lead them to letting the Holy Spirit effect a heart change in them.

Only Jesus can satisfy any of our souls. For our babies in the womb and beyond we need to begin to pray, teach, train, not only our own children but those in our churches, neighborhoods, and communities!

Can we justify the excuses we use to be so casual about prayer and bible reading!

Can we continue to say tomorrow we will start praying and reading the word together with our family!

Please understand! Every Christian must begin to pray for our children to have a heart change. Yes, I understand that we must also pray for parents, political leaders, and all on this earth to have a heart change, but at this moment my heart is broken at the children who are using guns to express their frustration and anger.

These children have no hope, they want to matter, and in some cases, they just want to survive the neighborhood of gangs they are in.

As children of the almighty God, creator of the universe, I believe we can do better!

May we step up and pray fervently for revival in our homes, our churches and our youth and children!

May we ask God, what can I do? How can I help? He will speak if we listen!

A HEART CHANGE!

Father, in Jesus’ name I ask that each one who reads this will make sure their heart is right with you. Then may we all begin the task of showing others they need a heart change. Our precious children are floundering, dying, suffering, because they need a heart change. I pray an awaking in every parent, grandparent, etc. that each of us need to step up and save our children! Amen

Love and Hug your children, MeMaw
