The most we can do

Yesterday I accessed my email account and learned that Smyrna’s director had been hospitalized for chest pains. It was worrisome to read the scantiest of information and be an ocean away, unable to consult the normal grapevine for more news, make time to visit my friend in the hospital, or call his family to communicate support. All I could do was pray.
 
As I considered the implications of my mental resignation to the fact that my only option was to pray, God convicted me of once again minimizing the importance of prayer. Prayer is THE best gift I have to offer in such a situation, and I need to gladly embrace the opportunity that God has given me to actively participate in the lives of people who are separated me from such distance.
 
So too may you embrace the opportunity that God has given you to actively participate in the lives of those who are experiencing prison, torture, and other forms of persecution for the sake of their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. May you remember them each and every day before the loving throne room of our God.
 
Smyrna’s Director has been released and is recovering at home. Please continue to pray for his complete healing.
