As God Begins to Work

A young lady entered our lives a couple of weeks ago in the GAP ministry. We have had the opportunity to love on her some and serve her by taking care of some needs. Her needs are many, and it has been a joy to get to know her as we present the Gospel. Rachel writes poetry. Here is some of her writing after experiencing some love from God, from God's people, and the Word of God. Remember, she has no church background at all.

A lost soul with no place to rest.
Racing thoughts flows the pen like
water does the body.
The tongue can not be still,
but my mouth is closed.
The many questions asked but receive
no answer.
The world stops,
time stops but only for a while
Chaos! Confusion! Silence!
Screaming thunder fills my veins,
one touch.
Vertical, horizontal, sinner, believer.
Calming waters from a gentle yet firm
voice.
Come my child,
for my pain is your pain,
my blood is your blood,
my beating heart is in rhythm with yours.
the door is open,
I am your answer,
I am God!

That is extraordinary! I see the Gospel throughout!
The vertical -- swapping love in relationship with God.
The horizontal -- swapping love with people washed with the Gospel.
