Well Said
by Lauren Murphy
I have just returned from a
one-month stay in Ethiopia, and, to put it simply, my world has been rocked.
Everything I once knew about God expanded ten-fold when I glanced upon His face
in such a humble setting. In order to spare you from a long-winded epic of my
journeys in Ethiopia, I will tell you of a moment where I experienced God in a
completely new, huge, and beautiful way.
The team I was a part of traveled to
an organization called Women at Risk. It is a program entirely devoted to
rescuing women out of prostitution, and providing them rehabilitation to live
independently. The program is scripturally based, and provides an avenue for
God's love to create healing in the women's lives. Every morning begins with a
devotional, and I was blessed to be present for this time of worship. The women
told us their life stories of abuse, rape, and desperation. Almost every woman
that shared revealed they were raped at a young age. Their stories told of a
lack of education and no resources to provide for their children. One woman had
a sick child and, with seemingly no other alternative, turned to prostitution
rather than watch her child die. Their stories were heart-wrenching- the most
dreadful tales you've ever heard. Next, they spoke of their rescue. During "night
raids" staff of Women at Risk searched them out at local bars and invited them
to a completely new life. The women accepted to the program were sitting in
front of me spilling their love for God and His power to wipe away all of their
shame. They spoke as if God literally came down from heaven and carried them
out of their prostitution hell.
After the last word was spoken, the
women stood and began to worship. They sang in their language, and they sang in
complete sincerity. It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. They
sang and sang. I had no idea what words there were using to praise God, but I
didn't need to know. I could see their passion for God in their uplifted faces,
in their swaying hands, and the memories of their stories. I could not catch my
breath; for, in that moment I was brought to my knees in realization of God's
mighty strength and His gentle care. God is huge, and God saves his people
everyday, in every nation completely independent of my acknowledgment. My
"small God bubble" was popped, and I will never be the same.
Although the women have endured far
more suffering than I could imagine, they have sparked in me gratefulness for
God's salvation in my life. My life has meaning because of Him; I have purpose
because of Him; I always have a reason to be joyful; I have every reason to
praise just as beautifully as those women did; I'm no longer in darkness. He
has brought me into such marvelous light. Ethiopian ex-prostitutes are shining
His light; they are a reflection of His glory.
" Hear me Lord, and be merciful to
me; Lord be my help. You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my
sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not
be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever." Psalms 30:10-12
