Something different today

Your of this city/your the King of these people/ your the Lord of this nation/.../There is no one like our God/For greater things have yet to come/and greater things are still to be done in this city.
I have been immersed in Indian culture for nearly three weeks now and I have noticed something. I have made friends with Hindus, Muslims, and Seeks. Three groups who are known for hating each other. At the moment here in Moussoori they work alongside one another in relative peace. But there is something that these religions have in common, they have a strong believe in fate/destiny. The Hindus say that events were meant to happen because of something that you did in a past life or something that someone did to you. The Musliums say Inshallah or if Allah wills it. Now you can argue and say that in a sense Islam is close to Christianity in that we say we are to follow the will of God no matter what that maybe. But stick with me here for a min. Here in Moussoori all of these groups except the Christians pretty much look out for themselves and their kind. Sure they will invite you in for tea but as far as really giving to another brother in need it doesn't happen. Here in Moussoori it is the Chrisitans, both foreign and Indians, who are getting work done. They are the ones that set up homes for orphans, they give some of the best medical care in these parts (I visited the gov. hospital yesterday. Oh goodness that is another story for another time). It is the Christians who are arranging to visit villages and bringing needed supplies and fellowship from the outside world. It is the Christians who are bringing hope to a desolate nation in need of so much. We were talking yesterday about how big India is, over a billion people, one day it is suspected to surpass China. How cool would that be if it was a nation of over one billion Christians? Now I am not as niaeve as I may sound I know that this is an impossible task but I believe in an impossible God. The One who flooded the Earth, healed the blind, died and rose again. In any case I believe that my God is the God of this city/nation and has amazing things planned for it. It has been such a blessing to me to see these plans taking place. Will you please join with me in praying for the nation of India our Christian brothers and sisters here and especially those who have yet to know The One True God.
Thanks for listening to my long winded post. I hope to post on Sunday night again but no promises. Much love to all.
