Keeping faith in a world with limited humanity

I look at he the fading humanity today and my heart aches. We were designed to be love and to give it freely. Yet over a course of time we turned to look inside instead of outside. People’s hearts have been hardened and they no longer can see blessings when God is pouring them down from heaven. People take for granted that their lives will go on tomorrow. We were never promised tomorrow so why do we waste the day? I admit I am guilty of it. There has been numerous times I turned away my child’s affection so I could watch TV or have some “alone” time.


We are always asking God to make the world a better place and he continually does. He places angels in our lives to help us wake up out of our self absorbed induced sleep. I look at James Kurtz and Ben Page and know that God has placed them into my live. When I prayed for the world to be a better place God created them. Not one person who has come into contact with these boys has not been affected deeply by their stories. We may not know how much longer they have but we cherish every moment they are here with us and know to be with these children you are watching God’s work in various people’s lives.

I pray continually for their healing for the Glory of God and not doctors. Yet in the end these boys might not make it. Despite the odds I still have faith. As Beth Moore states faith knows that God has the power to do something even though he might choose not to. I do know every day Ben and James fight miracles are happening. Continue to watch the story of these boys unfold and open your hearts to others pain out there. Don’t close your eyes to sadness or one day you will no longer feel and that is terrible when you can become numb or indifferent to others in crisis.

Don’t forget to thank God daily for your healthy loved ones. Cherish these angels and the ones that God has placed in your lives. As always continue to pray for the blessing and health of others. Don’t let the world’s ways rob you of your humanity.
