Multiplication

I see the nation of Haiti like a child hurting, scared and crying. I wish I could pick it up and hold it close to my heart, and dry their tears.

Today I was so sorry as I heard more sad news about Haiti...People dying of simple things like a broken leg. Lack of everything. Some going without food or water for more than 50 hours...

When I found out that even the President was homeless, my heart sank. I felt hopeless. I wanted to have more to be able to give big. But what I have is not much and what they need is so much.

As a kid in school I was never good with division and multiplication, but even if I was and had powers to multiply all that I have by a million, and if I gave it all to Haiti it still wouldnt suffice.

On a side note, I know a lot of people are already beggining to judge the nation of Haiti, but I don't want to be the one to judge Haiti or to judge the people that are judging Haiti.

Yes we can get organized in church to send food and clothes, we can send money...there is always something that can be done, as I 'm sure all churches are already doing. But what I am going to do the most is pray.

Pray for COMMITED Christians in that land. That they may feel God's touch empowering them tonight to raise them above the ashes, above the fear, above the broken buildings and their own broken hearts. Believers filled with the Holy Spirit, EMPOWERED with the heart of God to love and to comfort their nation and to prophecy words of life, renewal and strenght to their fellow citizens.

Tonight my heart is with them. I will call upon my God to empower them just like Jesus to multiply the bread and to multiply the fish. To empower them to raise their hands and heal and to calm the storm of strong negative emotions that maybe already forming over Haiti's heavens.

" Then Jesus lifed up His eyes and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat? But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do" John 6:5-6
