WRAP ME IN YOUR ARMS
This past Monday night was a rainy one. Thankfully, we were able to worship for what felt for about a minute. We sang a worship song called “Wrap Me in Your arms.” This song has been really touching the hearts of the people around me recently, including myself. It’s about embracing God and His love in your life. One of my favorite parts of outreach nights is when when we are worshiping God. Most of the time I am just playing away on the keys of the piano, but I love to open my eyes for a second and just see the love that is coming down in this place. From where I stand, I see hands lifted in adoration to the Lord. And even when they are not lifted, I see souls who are standing there watching and they don;t walk away because whether they know it or now, God has come to meet them on this street. (Luke 19:10)
Every Monday night when we arrive, there is a line of people that are expecting us. There are so many things that go on before we actually arrive. I love the beautiful fact that the Lord in just a second, can look down on all of us, including the outreach team, and call us Forgiven and Loved.
This is what this ministry is here for. We want to show the individual hearts of downtown Miami, that God’s doesn’t love you IF you do this or IF you do that. He loves you in your darkest moment. That exact moment when you feel your most disgusting and your most ashamed, He looks at us with so much affection, acceptance, and love! His love is unconditional.
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” – Jeremiah 31:3
So as we’re singing, it starts to pour down on us! Half of the team quickly gathers the audio equipment, the other half moves across the street under the hotel roof, where most of the homeless have run to in order to find shelter. Despite the rain, it was such a joyous night! We prayed for the food and began to serve our hearty beef pasta with bread and drinks.
There is this sweet woman in Downtown that we love very much. Her name is Linda and it was her birthday! We sang Happy Birthday and Prayed over her life. She was so happy to receive a carrot cake for her birthday.
