there's a fire in my soul
to love the unloved
to guide the lost
to rescue the oppressed
to set free the captive
to stand against injustice
in a world that is pervaded
by brokenness
where the world is hurting
I want to be healing
I have to be
because You call me there
my heart is continuously being broken
by what breaks Yours
because that is where...
I will most deeply know You.
let this fire never go out
I pray my heart will never turn hard
I pray I will never, ever be a bystander to someone's pain.
I pray that in my fortune I will never forget those that are suffering and unloved.
I cannot be ignorant and comfortable.
This brokenness extends to my family, and myself.
I am a major work in progress...but I trust and cling to Jesus' promise of redemption.
His grace draws me to the brokenness...in firm belief that He is the only hope and the only way.
I fall short, but HE is mighty to save! I am a sinner in need of grace.. but He loves me yet!
I pray that through Jesus I will love and serve as a lifestyle...not as a once a month donation, or a once a year trip. I need to think less of myself, and more of Him...and of His heart for the broken and oppressed.
May these not be mere words.
