Words from Debbie Walters:

I have come to this country and to these cities that mean so very much to so very many, and I wonder.  I wonder at the deep pain and suffering of these people.  They are beautiful people’ the Israeli’s and the Arabs.  I appreciate their kind hospitality and welcoming ways.  Their love of family and country…

 Then I hope:  I hope for their future, their children and their hearts…

 Then I remember: I remember you, the One.  The one who loves the hearts of men, and knows the plans He has for us, for good and not evil.  I remember You are the same and you never change. 

Then I am comforted in You.  You will lead, you will be strong, you will fight for the hearts of men.  You will defeat pain and accusation.

 Thank You, Beautiful One.  We trust You Jesus.
