God knows when something
glorious in the future necessitates something difficult in the present. Every obstacle we face and every battle on
the way will be worth it. (Moore
Working with former street boys is a mix of great joy
and sometimes deep pain. How
grateful we are to know God’s work of transformation is dependent on HIM and happens
“smack dab” in the midst of life’s messiness.
There is risk involved, the risk of that same young man we see being
transformed, reverting to addictions and instinctive survival. All of us are a risk, however. Maybe our reverting to former behaviors is
not as obvious as the boys we work with, but they are no less sinful. God asks us who are called by His name to get down on our knees in the hardship of
our circumstances and apply God’s Word to the most difficult places, believing
He will bring a harvest. (Moore
