Heartache.

So, tonight my family and I watched "Flame On," the video about the life and death of Cooper Jasper, JJ and Melanie Jasper's son. Watching this video, my heart ached. I can not imagine losing a child of my own. Ever... I can not imagine their heartache, even with as much time that has passed.

So tonight, I think I am going to blog about heartache.

and No, not the boy/girl, "nya nya," "He loves me, he loves me not," heartache.
The real stuff.

Presently, my heart aches for Japan.
Could you imagine.. I stopped to think about it.. I can't imagine finding one dead body. I don't like to find dead animals.. could you imagine finding thousands? I can't imagine knowing that I am about to die. And so is everyone else around me.. and there is NOTHING we can do about it.. Knowing that devastation is coming.. is already there. I can't understand how they're feeling.. there is no way. I have never ever faced anything to that caliber. My heart aches for the families.. and children.. but mostly for the unsaved. Oh gosh, does it ache for them..

My heart aches for the all the people around the world that are/were USED for sex trafficking.
I don't mean to go too deep.. but the precious gift that God gives to man and woman to be opened after marriage.. It is taken and used and abused for money and greed and wealth.. Something so beautiful for something that can destroy lives. Greed is the root of evil. I can't imagine how those young women, children, even young men, could feel after being used and used.. My heart aches for them.

My heart aches for orphaned children..
Not only from overseas, but also the ones right here around us.. as a young child, there is one person, at least, that you cling to.. The child puts all their trust in.. Some of these children grow up without knowing that one person loves them. Oh that makes my heart ache. God loves them! He loves them so much, and they are not orphaned! There are no orphans of God! How I wish I could tell every one of them that..

My heart aches the women who have had abortions, and the person that would have become of that beautiful gift of God..
I do not agree with abortion. Whatsoever, in any condition.. But I do NOT hate or dislike the ladies who have had abortions.. It hurts to see the people who support it, because they are alive; they weren't aborted. But for the women who have had abortions.. there is and always will be, whether they feel it or not, a void in their life. God created that child for a purpose. My heart aches knowing that there are so so so many people, children, adults, who were not given the chance to live.. They were not able to grow up like me, blessed with a beautiful family and an education, and wonderful friends.. They were denied their life.. My heart aches for what could have been.

But, when I think about how amazing, AMAZING, my God is, My heart rejoices.

He can turn all these situations around. He has that power! He does. He is amazing.

Have a great weekend.
