A few nights ago I had a strange dream that someone very important had died. There was a woman laying prostrate on the floor weeping and pounding her hands on the floor. Even though I didn't know who she was nor did I know who the person was that was so important, I was down on the floor weeping with her, so as to show that I shared her grief. The dream had bothered me and I guess you could say I was expecting news of a death of someone of great importantance. Well, of course today I learned about Kim Jong-Il's passing.
When I had the dream, I was annoyed because I felt it was of little value since I had no clue who the person was that was so important as to cause someone to be so grief stricken. Tonight, as I read how people were hysterical and pounding on the ground in a display of grief, it all became so clear to me. God expects me to help these people through this grieving process by praying for them, that their grief and sorrow would be lifted or softened. Rather than be afraid of whats going to happen next with North Korea, we need to just respond to their deep sorrow and share their grief, so that's what I am doing.
