Today was our last day at the skate park in Sunland. We have been going basically every Friday since September from 230 – 630ish. We just hang out with the people in and around the skate park. I thought I knew how much I loved these people, but didn’t understand how much I really do love these people until we left today.
There are a few people who I connected with instantly and words can’t explain how much I’m going to miss them. On the drive back to base I began worrying about when I was going to see them again, how often I would be able to talk to them, if they would realize how much Jesus loves them without me being there, and so on. Instantly I sensed God asking me, “Sarah, do you not trust me?”
Instantly, I was reminded of how much more God loves them than I do. I was reminded that the only reason I was able to show up to that skate park and show them a minimal amount of love I have is because God loves us first. He loved me first and because of that I am able to love the people at Sunland park.
My prayer is specifically for the individuals that I came in close contact with. My prayer is that God, you will touch them in a radical way. Lord, show them your fullness, your power, your love. God show them that Jesus came down to this earth for our sins and that there is no guilt in what they have done because you’ve taken it away through your Son. Lord, show them that you are walking with them daily by the means of your Holy Spirit. I pray that Your Holy Spirit overwhelms them so much that they’ll feel you walking so closely with them. Lord, love on them and send other people to love on them just like we had the chance to do so. Thank you so much for letting me meet them. Thank you for who they are and who you created them to be. Lord, I pray that they would know that you have created them for a specific purpose. I pray that they would understand how much You love them and desire to have a relationship with them. Lord, thank you thank you thank you thank you for RYAN, Donovan, Tyler, Caleb, Jade, Lanee, and Hadley.
