BAHKITA

    She saw the potential for good even in those who beat her.  She was taken into slavery as a young child by slave traders.  In the end, she was offered love, safety, riches, prestige, and she walked away from all worldly gain.  Romans 8,  Ephesians 1,  Philippians 1:29; 34
     It's funny that we are to forget the old--it's gone, but sometimes it's only by looking at our past, do we see how God has blessed us through it all.  And through it all He has given us the opportunity to know Him.  Bahkita said near the end of her journey that now she knew God was always with her.
    Andre Crouch wrote a hymn:  "Through It All."  That proved true for Bahkita, and so many who have suffered.  "Through it all, through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus.  I've learned to trust in God:  Through it all, through it all, I've learned to depend upon His word.
    I sit in His presence.  This quiet place.  I am in awe of how He can take all things and turn them for the good of those who love Him.  Thank you, Blessed Trinity, and so many souls like Bahkita who love Him.  When she saw Him on the cross, she related to Him because in her country (Africa) only slaves were hung on a cross.  God bless.
