My heart breaks.

Today in my quiet time I've come back across my favorite verse,


Acts 20:24 -- But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus -- the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.


Sometimes I forget how deeply this verse is engraved on my heart. My heart breaks for all of the things that are going on in this world. The infinite hurts, heartaches, bondages, sufferings, sins, hatred...but Jesus is still sovereign. And we are still here. Which is why we must go.


Matthew 28:19 -- Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.


I have a heart for the world. I want my foot to touch every single continent and I want to bring Living Water to all the people who are desperately searching for more. I want to love on those who don't know the true definition of love. I want to be a big hug for those children who just need some attention. It doesn't matter where we are...it matters where our hearts are and if our lives mean anything without sharing all that Jesus has done for us.


Knowing the never-ending pain and suffering so many people go through each day, I can't help but look forward to this...


Revelation 7:16-17 -- Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.


But in order for people to get there....somebody's going to have to tell them!
I pray that not a person goes without hearing the love of Jesus Christ, for he has rescued me, loved me, and changed me. I am constantly in awe of his goodness and faithfulness. I wouldn't want a single person to go without knowing this.


Psalm 150:6 -- Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!


We need to love our world and never stop.
