Totally Trust in God


 Words cannot describe this moment where Dimas' family, his new very best friend, Pastor Pedro and all of his family, Jared, Leon, Pastor Carlos, Yobani, Cristobal, Meida, Mike and I walked from the project after another sacrificial snack from the ladies to the adobe house where Dimas was lying in a hammock weak as water with not even an expression on his face.  It was like a blank look and just pure pain in his weak eyes.  Everyone who could laid a hand on the adobe home to pray over this man and his fragile life this side of heaven.  Mike asked Pastor Carlos to pray first and anyone else who wanted to pray could then Pastor Pedro will close the prayers.  It was not until Pastor Pedro prayed did it get personal.  I could not totally understand all Pastor Pedro's words but knew the Holy Spirit was in this place.  His words were of compassion and true love for his new friend of only one year.  Pastor Pedro has been a friend for Dimas in a way which Jesus would be a friend to you or me.  He gave his all to Dimas and his family once he realized how bad Dimas' living conditions were and how bad his health is.  This is exactly what Jesus Christ can do for us if we only receive Him, reach out to Him and rejoice in Him for all He can and will do for us as believers in Jesus Christ, God's only Son.  As Pastor Pedro continue his prayers I could hear prayers from others as well in the name of Jesus with tears flowing for healing for this man's body.  Healing which only can come from God.  You see folks when these people pray the "the Lord's Prayer"  they are sincerely asking for all their immediate needs, their daily bread, keep us from evil and God's power is what they always pray for.  Pastor Pedro's favorite word is contentment.  He will always ask me Ginger are you content today?  What a profound question for all of us?  Today are you content in your life, in your relationship with Jesus Christ and this world we all live in.  We all can be if we allow Jesus to work in and through our lives.  On the top of this hill in front of the broken adobe home (which fell in on Friday one week later, thank you Steele Creek for being obedient to the calling of this home) I and I am sure along with everyone else felt total contentment in the midst of such sadness.  God has Dimas' life in the palm of His hands.  So pray along with us and Pastor Pedro for this man's life to be comfortable and content until God decides to take him home.
