Rainbow in the rain

As the violence increases, keep your eyes on the Father, He is pointing to Jesus. Remember that the backdrop of these events is eternity. There is a place beyond the veil, waiting for us. A place where evil and sin have no power. All will rise from death into My presence, says the Father. Something He said in Remember Heaven. As the world travails in violence and as it increases I think of the Father. How much He grieved over such violence to the point of deciding to wipe it out, to destroy the brutality. But in the Father's heart is a love that is almost incomprehensible in its longsuffering, He doesn't want to lose us. So He puts an arch over the world, with colors radiating through the rain. He makes a promise to us that He will let us live on through the blood of the cross, exacted from Him by the same means of murder and brutality. His heart is grieved with massive violence increasing, but He has a way through it, He is leading this war, and He will overcome evil with good.

What sheer power is it to overcome evil. Only He has that power and He shares it with us. Screaming murderous hourdes are rising up, setting nations on fire, killing and killing and killing. But we have our Father who is leading us. He is making war on the enemy and on evil itself. He is breaking bonds, He is bringing freedom and in the end, the world will be covered with the knowledge of Jesus, as the seas cover the earth.

Father, we pray for the weak, the fearful, the children and the suicidal, please inspire those that love you, to lift up Jesus as the light in the darkness and give the pictures and THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST to the highways and byways. Thank You Father, in Jesus' mighty name.
