"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I
will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I
will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to
keep my laws."Ezekiel 36:26-27
While in Nairobi, we use a Christian pharmaceutical warehouse to purchase our
medicines. This trip, Dr. Oubre and I stopped there to set up a new account for
Cutting Edge Foundation. We met a wonderful lady named Beatrice we had been
dealing with for years but had never met in person. She is a delightful caring
Christian woman. Beatrice is a typical Kenyan - well educated, articulate,
polite and gentle. As we talked, she shared her heart with us about the recent
events in Kenya-the political and tribal unrest, the maiming of so many Kenyans,
and all the killings that had recently happened. She took time to show us
pictures she had on her computer. Our hearts were broken by the photos of dead
Kenyans, many of whom were children; the destroyed churches and other buildings,
and images of thousands of displaced people. We could see that her heart was
broken by what was happening to her country. She asked us to please continue to
pray for her country and thanked us for the work we were doing in Sudan. It will
take a long time for times to get back to normal in Kenya and for healing to
take place between the tribes that have been fighting with each other. I do not
think the world is more evil now than it has been in the past. What is different
now is that we have the technology to destroy and kill on a massive scale and
have the media to instantly show it to the entire world on television. Evil is
always in the human heart until Christ performs true heart replacement surgery
on us. He takes our heart of stone and replaces it with a new heart. We become
new creatures created in His image. Pray for Christ to bring healing to Kenya
and in the entire world. He is our only hope.
