I Need Heaven

This poem, sent to me today by a friend, touched my heart. English is not his first language, so you'll see a bit of awkwardness in the language. Nevertheless, you will still clearly sense the yearnings of his heart.

My friend is a Muslim.

If you love Jesus, join me in praying for him. He told me that the person(s) who hurt him claim the name Christian.

My prayer is that he will come to know the love of the real Isa (Jesus).

Daniel



I NEED HEAVEN


STRANGE WORLD


STRANGE HUMANS


STRANGE HEARTS


HARD COLD CRUEL FEELINGS


UNSTABLE CHARACTERS


WEIRD OPPOSITE EMOTIONS


INSTANTLY CHANGEABLE PERSONALITIES


REVENGEFUL UNEXPECTED DISGUSTING ACTIONS


UNFORGETTING INSISTING UNFORGIVING MINDS


FAULTY GUILTY UNAPOLGIZING SELFISH ARROGANT SOULS


FAULTY UNAPOLOGIZING YES FAULTY UNAPOLOGIZING


UNGRATEFUL FORGETTING UNFAITHFUL UNFORGIVING


EASILY SELLING HARDLY FOUND FRIENDSHIPS


INDIFFERENCE AND CARLESS PEOPLE


HARD CRUEL HEARTS YES HARD CRUEL HEARTS


PEACE LOVE HONESTY FAKE SLOGANS FAKE CLAIMERS


THINK ABOUT IT !!!?


GOOD !? NO BAD , WEIRD !! STRANGE !! EVIL !! OR KIND !! , GOOD !? NO BAD


I DO NOT KNOW GOOD OR BAD THAT IS LIFE , IS THAT NORMAL !?


YES THAT IS NORMAL THAT IS FACT THAT IS BAD


WHAT TO DO !? IS IT OVER !?


NO WE STILL WE ALIVE WE CAN


JUST REMEMBER DO NOT REGRET SUSTAIN AND U WILL CAN


TEARS MORE TEARS MUCH TEARS


IS THAT WEAKNESS NO JUST A CONCERNED MAN


I NEED HEAVEN I NEED HEAVEN I NEED HEAVEN

Korean Hostage's Husband

I found the following short video made by a husband of one of the Korean women being held hostage in Afghanistan.



It is touching, but also saddening. His emotions are understandable from a purely human perspective, but in my opinion his video does not bring glory to God, because it does not show the way a Christian can respond to grief and tragedy. Perhaps only his wife is a Christian, and he is not? If he is a Christian, he is losing a powerful opportunity to show the world the difference that Jesus makes in a life.

Watch it and see what you think.
