greater things have yet to come

I just returned from a two week mission trip to Thailand yesterday. It was incredible and profound. I'm still trying to find words to describe the experiences I encountered. God is so tangible in the darkness there. He's the God of that city, the God of those people and as the song, 'God of This City' so beautifully declares - "greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city." That song was written by the Christian band, Bluetree, in Bangkok, Thailand! How amazing is that...only God. A memory from the trip that comes to mind is when I was counseling teenage girls who had come from a background of sex trafficking. We read Bible verses about how we are God's beloved, His chosen people, and how we are God's princesses. I told them that God is especially fond of them, that He is always holding them, loving them and will never let go. The best is yet to come. Those girls are an inspiration - they have been through so much in their young lives, but are still smiling and beginning to learn what love reaally is like and learning how they should be treated. Through these young, beautiful princesses of the King, I know more, care more, am inspired more, and now must do more. The kingdom of God is always expanding.
