I think of this song we danced to many years ago....How Beautiful
and the words were How beautiful is the Body of Christ.
We danced in our white worship Israeli folk dresses which had very full skirts nearly ankle length.
They made beautiful circles flowing around us when we twirled and worshipped our Lord Jesus.
All of the sisters in white, smiling, twirling, a twinkle in our eye, just holding back a laugh of celebration.
It was the Year of Jubilee!
and the pictures here are the expression of that joy. How BEAUTIFUL is the Body of Christ!
Here we are with our youngest brothers and sisters in the Lord. We are only separated by time and space, but we are one in Spirit. More hands and feet (TGD Team) of the Lord provide a tangible expression of the Father's Love to these helpless young children who have done nothing to determine their circumstances. Is it their fault they were born there and is it our merit that we were born here? And yet it has made all the difference. They live in poverty and everywhere around them they can see hopelessness and despair. Everywhere around them they hear of the dying and the sick. And now, someone has come to tell them----"There is someone who is helping you today!" And now, someone has come bearing gifts. And now, they look around and wonder, "How can this be?" and let them praise their God in heaven who has chosen them in His mercy.
I pray the work continue to expand that others feel the joy and the hope that is possible with so little from us but so profound for them. They will never forget this joy.
