Who are They? Really...

As many know by now my husband finally returned from his Year long tour in Iraq. He has been home a week and I forgot the Fullness of being a Christian Wife and Mother in the Military. I am so blessed by the honor given to me. I am humbled by the many men and women serving along side of me who has also endured Deployments and Military Life. As I looked around at the Welcome Home Ceremony I saw so many familiar faces and many new faces. I also so so much joy and sorrow at the same time. Many had no family awaiting their arrival and some had all of their family greeting them. My heart broke for some but I was so full of joy to see my own it was hard to sympathize very long. God has opened my eyes to a new way of Life. I once would look at the Cheater, the Alcoholic, and the Abuser as a piece of life wasted, now I look at them and my heart breaks. I see a soul lost so deep into sin and yet searching for fulfillment they can't seem to find. They have been  accepted into a crowd of people who will accept anybody but then they turn into something they never thought. They are now that Cheater, Alcoholic or Abuser they tried to run from. Why do we just sit there? Why do we complain about it as Christians and slander them? Shouldn't we Pray instead? Now, I am not a perfect example of praying for every woman who walks by me in an immodest manner, I may think a few things to myself and not pray at all. However, wouldn't it be wonderful  if we prayed for all of those people who offend us.Afterall what does the bible say about those... But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5: 44  How much more would be accomplished in the Kingdom of Heaven? I look around me on our Military Post and as my eyes are being opened I see some who I literally just walk up to and pray with now. My heart is breaking for those who just want to be loved and told they are loved and needed. The wives who have cheating husbands but are staying for the sake of their family and reputation, the mothers who have teenagers rebelling but feel no hope is left for their child, and the single parent raising their child on their own who just wants a break.I want you to know I see your pain but God knows your sees and knows your pain. He wants you to tell him all about it and for all of us walking past you that you see, we are praying. How Blessed are We that we know this wonderful Love and Savior! Share our Lord! My heart is so full of aches for all of the lost souls. If you need prayer, we are hear for you.
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. James 5:16 
So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance. Romans 8: 26
