His Redeeming Grace

The Lord allows us to go through seasons where we thread on rocky grounds; we linger in dark places and things seem to go downhill and we spiral into chaos and despair.  Many great men and women of God had gone through the dark night of the soul.  Seemingly, God is silent; but the truth is glaring; He is with us in every season of our life.  At the mountain top, in deep and dark valley, in good and challenging times, in our joy and sorrow.  

Through all our experiences, the Lord brings people into our paths; the depressed, the disillusioned, the downcast, the disheveled, the disenfranchised, the powerless, the weak, the infirmed and the down and outs. These people have lost all hope of a future. When God allows us to minister to these people through our brokenness and weakness, He releases His fragrance and power and saturates every part of our being with His unfailing love. We are His redeemed people; we minister through the redeeming power and love of a God and His heart beats for the dying and the lost.
