Sabbath - Day of Rest

thinking... what does it mean to be a life witness of Christ's love? or actually moreso, what actions can you take to bring Christ's love to the lost and hurting people of this world?

sometimes people seem so different from a distance... and you only get to know these people within a limited context.. perhaps a classmate you never talk to, a co-worker you rarely work with, a far off distant family member, an elementary school friend you never keep in touch with...whomever it may be... you are only give a very strict limited context to get to know them and form some sort of idea about what they are like... what their interests and talents are...

and then God opens your eyes at various random chance occasions... and He enables you to see these people for who they really are... you catch a glimpse of their pain, their struggles, their innermost raw emotions... and it hits you so hard... these people are HURTING badly... so lost and some even searching for faith and trying so hard to hold onto something they can't see nor feel... and what can you do about it? these people are not close enough to you so that you can feel comfortable talkign with them and listening to them... since you two normally dont' talk or interact much outside of that extremely limited environment, there are little instances where you can offer a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a prayer... and yet, your heart breaks to know they are lost, angry, confused, hurt, seeking, and so in need of Christ's love to fill them... i think.. perhaps the best thing i can do now is pray for them and pray boldly... they prolly will never know, but i believe God hears our prayers and answers them.

Vanessa,

How do you know that God is listening to our prayers? Did you make a prayer to God that my driving skills to be improved and be able to drive to sauga and i'm sick of Yorkdale? hehe

Question, don't get offended.
If there's God, then why're there AIDS in Africa, and poor people dying in third world countries? Why're there crazy people torturing animals?

Another Question:
What is faith? and how do you ensure one have enough faith in life.
