My soul weeps

Today, I come with a broken heart. Never before have I felt so helpless, so sorrowful and the feet of a giant. Finally finished reading "Not For Sale" by David Batstone after putting it off for several months. And my heart is broken. It's amazing how prevalent slavery still is today and how little no one talks about it. Even when we do hear of these issues we hear of remote issues in select countries, But it's so much bigger. From the streets of Italy and Russia, Thailand and Cambodia, Sudan and Uganda, Washington DC to Los Angles. My soul weeps.

It's said, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist.

I find myself at fault in this too. Finding ease when talking about a living God, yet even among my brother's and sisters in Christ it's uncomfortable when talking about the devil. Almost as if when talking about the devil we're reach into the mystic realms of voodoo magic or something that we would just rather not believe truly existed. ANYWAYS

I have a new hero, his name is Padre Cesare. He is an abolitionist in Italy. He came to be where he not through an organization, but through the need of people who sit helpless in bondage. Through his own sacrifice he provides trafficked women with self sufficient jobs on their own accord. He now has a marked head by the Russian Mob and has had attempted hits on him multiple times. The Italian Government now provides him with a personal security guard at all times (not upon his request). He is a civilian who is not afraid to take action. He once said, "I am praying for a new generation of abolitionists who will open their hearts. Traffickers get away with murder because good people won't answer the calls of these young women crying out for help."

Please, please pray for a broken heart. Pray for compassion. Pray that God gives us the strength to take action. Pray that these people come to know the love and grace of Christ.

If your interested in more please let me know. I have a book you need to read.
