Resolving the Issues of Life

Resolving the Issues of Life

I've faced and fought a lot of issues over the years.  I've protested & picketed, written letters, participated in rallies, prayed outside establishments, handed out flyers, bantered with the crowds a couple times in the public square.  When I look back, I may or may not have made an ounce of difference.  In hindsight, the greatest impact I've probably made is trying to minister to people one at a time; talking, listening, helping, lifting, praying over, caring for and just coming alongside and being and sharing Jesus. One of my greatest frustrations in ministry has been that I can't fix people (much less myself).  I've seen, experienced A LOT of hurt.  Sin HURTS the world. So, I guess if I had to do it all over again, I would find the Zacchaeus', the leper, the loner, the outcast, the hurting, the searching, the abandoned, the abused and I would just share with them what Jesus has given me.  He resolved all my issues, He can resolve anyone's issues.
