Satisfy

I was thinking today about food and what i was going to do for lunch... so i went and took some food out of my fridge and cooked it. I was thinking about how food isnt ever satisfying, like at all. When it comes to life and necessities, what do i really need? So i started thinking about how ridiculous I can be. I think that I need food at that moment or I'm going to die or something. What I need to have crammed and lodged in my head is that my daily bread and satisfaction should come from the Lord. He is enough and he will sustain me to be okay. I think in my mind I make it seem like I have to have that shirt or I have to get that purse, but in reality i dont. I need to be in the word and find my satisfaction in God and know that he is enough and he will supply all my needs as long as I am living an obedient life. I am in submission to his authority. I love it! It makes me so happy that I can rely and place my trust, hope, faith and love into a real and loving Father. In the Bible it talks about how the Lord supplies food for the birds of the airs and the flowers of the fields, but how much more precious are we, his children. He will never leave my side and that gets my soul sooo stoked! So back to my thinking about the food I ate, I was still hungry afterwords, but the word of God that I read left me filled, complete and truly happy. My satisfaction, I pray, comes from my God and nothing else that will keep me looking for another thing to fill it or something that is satisfying. You can feel this too .... Just ask... its alll yours!

So what exactly is captivity? Well, captivity is the state or period of being held, imprisoned, enslaved, or confined. If you have ever heard of Human Trafficking this word means everything to a victim. It's like the word is their life. Serious. There are 27 million slaves world-wide and all are being held captive. They don't have a say in anything they do from what they wear, eat, say, walk or even who they talk to. They are moved from Brothel to brothel from corner to another house to hotel to construction sites. These captives are held and enslaved for months to years. I was soooo furious when I first learned about this. I wanted to got right away into the darkest of places and take these girls out of this situation that they didn't choose. I wish I could just help people to see what is going on around the world and even in peoples backyards. If we just open our eyes and see something that is really huge and seriously gross and so disturbing, I believe with God's strength and power Human Trafficking will cease. This is a 9 billion dollar industry so it's not an easy task that we have at hand. It takes our voices to be heard for the ones who don't. It takes networking and people with a passion to come together, get and share ideas and i know things will start happening. Today I visited Faith Community Church and a lady from Australia came and talked about how she started a ministry in Greece that takes victims and helps them get back to living a normal life. They revive their health and tell them about a God who has a life and plan for them. They even have help from police to close down brothels in the areas across Europe. SICK!!! THIS IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING AND i see how we need to take action NOW. I want to live a risky life like this and not be scared to go into the darkest places and go where no one has paved a path and walkway before. I Want the Lord to use me and equip me which he will as long as i trust in him and let him lead my life. I want my passion to explode into the unknown places! I want my passion to impact the captives!
