We live in a world divided by hate where the average person is more and more isolated. Fear and anxiety are common as we have experienced the decline of our society and the erosion of the values that hold us together as communities.

But… every great movement of the Holy Spirit has taken place when the world seemed lost beyond hope. I believe that we are on the verge of another great awakening. Especially now, people need the hope of Jesus Christ and the community of the Church. The words of Jesus still ring true, "Do you want to be healed?" Jesus is offering the words of hope and opportunity.

God’s grace is amazing. Just as God used Peter, so God can use anyone… even me. God uses us for his work not because of our abilities but because of our willingness to let God use us as God’s servants. It’s not about me, but rather what God can do through me. 

I believe that God smiles when we put our lives in the Master’s hands. In that moment we experience the joy of being all that God created us to be. The problem for most of us is that we see the obstacles and barriers. God sees the possibilities and opportunities. We see the limits of this life. God sees the potential. We see what has been. God sees what can be.
