A lot of the times when I write blogs, I sit at a coffee shop and people watch for a good 30 minutes before I begin to write something. It fascinates me to watch what people choose to spend their free time or their money on. I begin to look at every person and realize every one has a passion, a creative personality, and a heart that is drawn to love, whether they realize it or not. Everyone was created with a tendency to love or to desire love. That is why this generation is so lost. It's because they are seeking love from things that can't give true love. How can you love someone and seek love from anything until you realize the One who is perfect Love has loved us first?
One of the students on my last outreach, Jordan Frey, shared with our DTS his hope to see healings on our outreach. He tried and tried and saw nothing. He explained that God revealed to Him that Jesus healed people in scriptures because He first loved them. Jesus never didn't operate out of love. Every miracle and healing He saw was because He loved. So Jordan went and tried to get himself to love these broken people so he could see healings. Still nothing. He didn't see one healing, and then the Lord asked Jordan, "How can you love others when you don't know how much I love you?"
One of the greatest commandments from Jesus is to love Him and to love our neighbors and enemies. We all deserve hell. Not one person deserves eternal life. But Jesus in all His graciousness loves each one of us, even if we are idiots. Every person I am looking at in the coffee shop I am in is loved by Jesus. And if that is true, which it is, why can't I love each one of them?
We are called to love.
The school is officially done. I have completed my season here with YWAM for the time being. I just spent the past 8 months praying, worshipping, discipling, learning, growing, and reaching out to the lost. The past season has been absolutely incredible, but I am excited for what is next!
I need help to get home! In completing this school, I am needing to raise more support in order to get home. I am traveling home for the holidays and need help in doing so. The campus is entering a new quarter and I will have no place to stay by the end of this week, so I need to raise a total of $1,000 for my plane ticket! If you could first and foremost pray for me and the provision of the Lord, that would be amazing!
If you do feel led to help support me, that would be a tremendous blessing! You can email me at the.daniel.york@gmail.com with any questions. If you use PayPal, you can click the link below. If that link for some reason doesn't work, you can just donate to my email address through paypal.com.
Thank you all for your prayers and support! I am grateful!
