Trying new routines in order to give proper focus to the Lord and my child brought me to a later than usual intercessory prayer time… but it was just me and the Lord. I sat down and began and I honestly don’t even recall what triggered this response but all of a sudden tears started rolling down my face as I exclaimed, “Their souls matter!” and into a quieter repetition of, “their souls matter… their souls matter… “

I have seen too much and learned too much along the way of my life and the life Jesus has shown. There was a time when I was a child and I asked a parental figure, “If God is all loving then why is there a hell?” I don’t think they were prepared for this question and so the answer given was nothing compared to what I now know. “Well, there has to be a hell for there to be a heaven…”, was the semi response that I received to which I gave a, “Well, I guess I just won’t believe in either then.” I had questions that were not answered and it brought me to not know how to see things which in turn allowed for footholds of the enemy to be established… This is no fault to that parent, it is tough questions and takes serious divulging with the Lord and in the Word in order to answer some of these very necessary questions.

Our souls do matter and they matter to the Lord which is only part of the reason why He responded to me, “No. You have work to do.”, when I pleaded with Him to take me home. He knew that if He allowed me to die from the world while I was living in sin that I would be doomed to hell and… He had a job for me to do as well. All of us are given a lot of chances to turn to Him instead of sin and ALL of us have been given life because of Him. He has a purpose for each of us and all too often this world has made it incredibly easy and almost a “right of passage” to take their life into their own hands thinking that they are supposed to be one way and to follow the patterns of the world. But, even through that there is still time and opportunity to turn back to Him and ask to see life and self as He sees and means.

While so many are awakening and repenting with souls being saved, there are still so many that are lost and attempting to fill the space in the heart and soul with anything that glitters in this world that has any amount of possibility of being anything “satisfying”. What is interesting is that the very next day after this exclamation of souls mattering I saw a soul that was so lost and desperately needed to know that he was still loved but due to the environment and his company I just kept asking God what He wanted me to do and then after the fact said, Lord let him come in our path again and I will for sure share with him how much you love him. I find that all too often we as followers are not as bold as He truly wants us to be for Him because seriously – their souls matter. This is where I ask that you as a believer and knower of this very real value that you take a new commitment with me to be bold and take steps and words that are not yours but His and share His love, ask for Wisdom and discernment always while also Trusting in the One that has your life in His very hands – your life is worthy and so is theirs, we all need and deserve the chance to actually go Home instead of hell.

Will you join me in recognizing the value of your soul and all souls? Some people don’t even know that they are seen of any value and desperately need that one moment to wake them up. Are you able to accept the Spirit the God has given you – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of Power, Love and Self-discipline(sound mind).” (2 Timothy 1:7)?

We are called to greater action because life is greater, we are called to greater love because His is the greatest of all and we are called to a greater awareness because there is a greater picture to be revealed. Hallelujah and may God bless you!
