These words are from Allison Brown, one of the many Mission Lazarus workers who carried medications from Honduras to Haiti and stayed to offer medical care and to work toward organizing health care in the aftermath of the earthquake. After describing the trauma and the strength she witnessed during her days there, she ends with this reflection, written Friday, January 29:
God is seeking those who are not yet His. How does God seek people who are not yet His? – exclusively through the people who are already His, I believe. We live in end times. All I can say is, “God Come Quickly.” (Psalm 70) Shouldn’t we plead with God for His Second Coming?
How do you live your own life intentionally and conscientiously when you were given ease in the face of so much difficulty, wealth in the midst of poverty, opportunity in the midst of none?
Because you know, Go.
“Here am I. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8)
When Haitians pray, “God, Come Quickly”, they mean you and me.
So be it.
