I am FREE to Live

This is why I'm here on Earth: I am hope to the hopless. God will use me to give people hope. People who ran out of hope long ago. God will use me to love children that have never been loved before. Chilren who are seen as "unloveable" because they have HIV/AIDS, children who were abandoned at birth, children who literally starving and sell themsevles for food. God will use me in my life to proclaim his name for His glory! A revival is upon my generation, we're apart of it, our actions are following the words we speak. They're not just being said in hopes of a revival happening.

Over 300,000 children in the U.S. alone are slaves. The polite word, or rather 'politically correct' word in todays society for slavery is Human Trafficking. These 300,000 children are prostitutes, clothes makers, and food harvesters. Whatever happened to the 13th ammendment that abolished slavery? I mean that was the reason behind the Civil War right? So what has happened since then? People are still slaves. Their natural born rights have been stripped from them. They no longer have the freedom to live. These slaves are beaten, given food just barely enough to survive, and are rarely paid any amount of money. They are sold for as much as a $100. They are treated like animals, not human-beings. Americans are uneducated about massive, illegal problems that are happening in our own backyard. Just the other day I watched a video my friend had posted on her Facebook wall talking about a brothel that was busted up in Indy. That's just an hour and half away from me. But the even scarier thing about human trafficking is it's not just happening in America. 1.2 million people a year are becoming slaves. Women are selling themselves for what they thought was work, but in reality they've become part of an industry that pleases men. Children are becoming part of forced labor and getting beaten for not getting the job done quick enough. This is a huge issue and a solution must happen now, not later. There isn't any time for later.

Tonight my mom and I went to the 'Free to Live' worship service tonight over in Louisville. We worshipped. We listen. God spoke to us. His spirit was alive and present. And we responded. God spoke to me, He told me I was hope. Hope to this world of broken and hurting people. One day I will bring hope to someone. Their life could change for forever, in Jesus' name.

Isaiah 58: 6-7 says this "No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
