Well, here I am in Ukraine. I've been here for three weeks. If you are unaware, we are in the process of adopting a 14 year old girl. After three weeks and a massive of amount of time spent with the Lord either praying, listening or studying His word, and after huge portions of revelation I, tonight, am consumed with the simplest of revelations.
You see, tomorrow is the day that we have come half way around the world for. Tomorrow is the day that we have endured heart ache, tears, trials and an enormous test of faith, patience and love. Tomorrow we go before the Judge.
First, let me give you a short recap of today. Today was a great day, another day of great progression in our bonding as a family. That is until one little disagreement, and suddenly I am faced with some rejection. I stood my ground as a parent, and though the whole thing is silly, and really, all will be fine, after all God has given me NO REASON at all to doubt Him or that this is His will!
Now, on with the good stuff, and this is gonna be a short one, after all, I did say this is the simplest of revelations. You see, tomorrow, I go before the judge and plead(intercede) for this child, I will ask the court to take on her "burden"(though she is in no way a burden). I will take responsibility for her life. And despite feeling a little rejection tonight, My love for this child is no different than the love for any of my children. That very love is what will continue to plead for her life before the judge.
So here's the revelation if you haven't already figured it out....Jesus was beaten, insulted and rejected as the Son of God, as a Saviour and as a King! Yet the very next day He picked up His cross, carried it up the mountain and gave His life on the Cross. Three days later he rose from the dead, He ascended to heaven, and now He sits at the right Hand of the God, the Judge, and pleads for our lives. Why? It's all about LOVE! That is the reason I am Here today!!
