Who Needs Love?
It is easy to love those who are lovable. It is easy to love those who love you. It is easy to love those who do all the right things at the right time. On the other hand it is hard, almost impossible to love those who do not display lovable qualities.
God's love goes way beyond human love. The scriptures state that God loved us before we love him. His love is unconditional. This week I came to appreciate the love of God through an experience I had while ministering to the homeless.
John an homeless man whom I had grown to love and care for helped me to appreciate God's love more. He also helped me to become more sensitive to difficult people .
John was saved from committing suicide by the love we showed him week after week as we handed him fresh water and encouraging words. He shoved his hair, got a job, and was made progress. He even got a place to rent. He was very happy. There was a radiance on his face. The week of his birthday he was very excited about celebrating it. He celebrated his birthday for a week with a bottle of wine.
Three weeks after that, I saw John drinking. The radiance on his face was gone. He was cold. I felt disappointed when I saw his condition. Before that I would go and greet him but this time I sat in the van and had other ministry partners to go and hand him the water, and cupcake.
On my way home I felt that all my love and care for him was wasted. I started to think was it worth while to minister to these people? The Hole Spirit quickly spoke to me. My job is not to save, heal or change. My job is to be a witness. A great burden was lifted. I was renewed and recharged to continue to minister to the homeless.
The holy Spirit reminded me of more than one occasions when I failed in my christian walk.
I remember how I felt loved and forgiven by God. I thank him for his care and mercy when I most needed it. He then said to me. John needs your love now more than ever.
More than anyone other time I needed to show John my love and care for him.
Most of the time the ones who need love do not receive it because they do not display the qualities that we as human beings love to see in them.
Let us continue to pray for John. God is able to save and deliver him from all his sins and weaknesses. Please stand with me in faith for his salvation.

Compassion In Action|February17/2012
For the first time in my life after over 30 years of ministry I felt deep compassion for an individual.
It rained today in Tampa. As our ministry team handed out water, cupcakes and candies to the homeless, tears rolled from my eyes as I handed a bag of candies to a homeless man. He was lying on the cold concrete under an overhead traffic way. He must have been cold because he was covered from head to toes leaving only his face out. As I handed him the candy he looked at me, smiled and said," Thank you". I do not know why, but such compassion came over me. Tears sprung up from deep within me. I turned away quickly. I did not want him to see me crying. I now understand how Jesus felt when he used to walk the streets and saw the poor, blind and lame and those who were oppressed. .
Few months ago God laid it on my heart to build a home for the homeless. It is a day like today that such a home would be in good stead for the homeless, especially when it rains.
My desire to build this home was rekindled today. Will you join me?

February 2, 2012| Basket of Love Increases|Hope For The Homeless
Brother Donovan Hyre, Ministry Partner holding Basket of Love.
February 2, 2012
The “Water for Life Now Ministry” was truly blessed today with the addition of (2) dedicated persons who share the same passion in reaching out to the homeless in Tampa Bay .
NC and EM, mother and daughter-in-law were more than willing to make 60 sandwiches, and 97 Muffins for the cause of feeding the hungry.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill," and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has not works, is DEAD.
James 2:14-17 NRSV
The day started out later than normal: but God who is Sovereign knew why we had to get there at the time we did. We were able to feed and minister to more persons than we normally do. They were very, very grateful for all the efforts that we put into going to see them.
There was a young man that was so broken. He could not look at me, I could not get him to receive from us……this was obviously something “new” he has never encountered before. I did not insist, I simply stepped aside and began praying for him.
We were able to see some of the regulars, that we see every week.
John whom I’d mentioned before celebrated his 31st birthday, on Saturday January 28th and, was still celebrating when we saw him. Please continue to pray for John. He has been locked into the spirit of homosexuality since the age of 9 years old: but we all know that GOD is able to do a miracle in John’s life. John told us sometime ago that he knows in his heart that GOD wants to use him in the ministry…please PRAY.
There is such a burden for these people, and it will take continuing, persevering prayers to get them to see themselves loved by the Almighty GOD. They need to know that GOD has a plan for each of their lives, and they are very special in HIS eyes.
