Reaching The Unreached

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy".

As the Fourth of July was just upon us, I ponder on the truths that set our country in place. Our creator established a free America for all to live. His hand upon it, He guides those to protect our freedom. We have many human rights protected by our government. I am satisfied with all of the blessings America has to offer. With this satisfaction though comes a feeling to share what I have been blessed with. Many people are amongst us that live in this free country but have no homes, or jobs, they lack money to support their families with food. Many outreaches are available to them that each of us can support. And as important as it is to help our Americans in need, it is just as important to reach our hands further, outside our protected walls, to every human, in every country. I am proud to be an American because I have the freedom to do this. It is our responsibility to be involved with global outreach. Global outreach brings unity among nations, preventing war, developing trust and peace, building international business support that blesses everyone. America is blessed. I want to share our blessings to the unreached people of this world that have had no help, or not enough. Starvation, disease, and hopelessness strips the character of human life and leaves a nakedness of raw pain.

There are many ministries and churches that are reaching out to poor Americans and desperate international peoples. I am involved in one ministry that fulfills the needs of millions of people in America and all over the world. This ministry was established by an amazing family that pour their lives into helping others. They provide love, support, homes, churches, orphanages, financial support, national disaster relief, medical help and most importantly the spread of salvation. Many poor people in these countries have a short life expectancy and when they receive the word of Gods love for them and embrace salvation, they leave this world with peace and a knowing that they will have eternal life, where all pain is gone.

Harvest Now Inc. is living my American dream. A dream to share our God given blessings with everyone that was created in all the earth. We have much to give when we allow our hearts to grow and stretch out to everyone, and not just ourselves. www.harvestnowinc.org

On Silence

"Yesterday is gone.

Tomorrow has not yet come.

We have only today,

Let us begin."

To make possible true inner silence, practice:

Silence of the ears, by listening always to the voice of God and to the cry of the poor and the needy,

closing them to all other voices that come from fallen human nature, such as gossip, tale-bearing,

and uncharitable words;

Silence of the tongue, by praising God and speaking the life-giving Word of God that is the Truth,

that enlightens and inspires, brings peace, hope, and joy, and by refraining from self-defense and

every word that causes darkness, turmoil, pain, and death;

Silence of the mind, by opening it to the truth and knowledge of God in prayer and contemplation,

like Mary who pondered the marvels of the Lord in her heart, and by closing it to all untruths, distractions,

destructive thoughts, rash judgments, false suspicions of others, revengeful thoughts, and desires;

Silence of the heart, by loving God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength and one another as God loves,

and avoiding all selfishness, hatred, envy, jealousy, and greed.

I shall keep the silence of my heart with greater care, so that in the silence of my heart I hear His words

of comfort and from the fullness of my heart I comfort Jesus in the distressing disguise of the poor.

For in the silence and purity of the heart God speaks.

~Words By Mother Teresa~

I Dream A World

Today's Blog is inspired by a poem I read. "I Dream A World" By: Langston Hughes.

Growing up in America, his life was surrounded by pure racism. In expression to his life, he wrote poetry. If only life could have been different for him and the many lives that lived with prejudicm. Blacks became slaves in America, dating back in to the early 1600's. That is a long time of bondage. If only it were different then and only if it were different still today...oh' what a world this would be!

I Dream A World

By: Langston Hughes

I dream a world where man

no other man will scorn,

where love will bless the earth

and peace its path adorn

I dream a world where all

will know sweet freedom's way

Where greed no longer saps the soul

nor avarice blights the day.

A world I dream where black and white,

whatever race you be,

Will share the bounties of the earth

and every man is free,

Where wretchedness will hang its head

and joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind-

of such I dream, my world!

Thank you for reading today's blog. I hope you enjoyed it. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Anny's Faith System

Well Good Morning Blog World!

Digging in my attic, I pull out many thoughts, but decide to pick out one topic for this morning. The topic of my faith system. There are many, many beliefs amongst us. It is a strong conviction of mine, not to judge any of them. My belief is not accepted by everyone, but is to some. I believe in God. Many faiths believe there is a "god" who created and is the orb of our being. Many do not believe in a god at all. The God I believe in is described in the Hole Bible. But my God is not just boxed in a book. My God is the ultimate creator of everything that is past, present and future. Therefore, is omni present. "He" is magnificantly Holy. Sin is not allowed in "His" presence. Where love and any kind thing is present, God is involved. Aitheism is one form of non-belief in God. But if an aitheist shows any form of love, then God is present within in them. For you cannot avoid God. Again, I do not condemn, nor judge any faith. My God is the judge of all His creation. He is full of Glory and love for His people.

I cannot help myself to want to honor such a wonderful creator, God, father. For He created me with His loving hands and thoughts. He cares for me and has given me gifts and a plan for my life. In the bible, it states, that the greatest thing we can do amongst one another, is to Love.

As God speaks to me, I listen. Each day I am given an opportunity to live. I want to honor God by obeying the most simplest thing He is asking of me. To Love one another. I do despise hate because it is a form of injustice. Hate hurts. Hate is not of God. Hate separates. Hate kills. I do not want to be involved in hate, it makes my inner being, my flesh, my soul, cry out for justice.

Today's blog is one small example of my belief in God. I also believe in the Trinity. And I do believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God. But, for today, my subject was introducing my belief that there is a God, our creator, He dwells in every human, His message is love, and I do not feel worthy to judge any other faith.

Thank you for reading. I pray you have a blessed day and find love in it. Please feel free to share your thoughts on anything I have shared with you today!
