Jesus loves the prostitutes. Jesus loves the men who buy women for sex. It's crazy. He loves them BOTH. My flesh wants to be disgusted with men who would buy a human being for his sexual cravings, but the truth is, men are broken and longing to fill the emptiness in their soul. I am in NO way excusing their behavior but seeing God's heart for these men to be set free and to know the One who can heal their souls and fulfill the longing of their hearts. Today, a couple of girls and I from my team prayer walked around the red light district in Chiang Mai. Did it feel weird? Yes. Was it uneasy to see a large amount of white foreigners on this street? Absolutely. Did it make my team and I sick when we saw how obvious bars were about selling sex? Yes. Or when we saw a man talking with a prostitute knowing what would happen? Yes. In light of that, I know that God's grace is not cut off from these men. Like the women who are in bondage to one thing, the men are also in bondage. Friends and family, please pray. Pray that like prostitutes AND their clients will come to know true freedom only found in Jesus. Love and deliverance only found in JESUS!
As I am listening to Matt Gilman's song "every captive free" I am believing The Lord is singing His songs of deliverance over the men and the prostitues.
