I pled and prayed more and again through tears. It's as though the angry, numb, heartbroken flooidgates have (finally) opened and our Lord used this article in part. Thank you for posting it/linking to it. God is good and faithful and I'm thankful for the fresh reminder; "Only his grace can draw them from their perilous pursuits and bind them safely to himself—captive, but satisfied." (Oh, the bliss of being captive, but satisfied"!) I'm thankful for the reminder; "The only ultimate reason to pray for them, welcome them, plead with them, email them, eat with them, or take an interest in their interests is so that their eyes will be opened to Christ."
