WHERE IS OUR HEART?
"We must move from asking God to take care of the things that are breaking our hearts, to praying about the things that are breaking His heart." This quote from Margaret Gibb speaks to my heart.
Are over 57 million babies aborted since Roe v. Wade in 1973 breaking God's heart? What about the nearly 32 million that have been murdered in the womb just this year? Is it breaking our hearts also?
Are the young girls and teens who are deceptively and destructively sold into sex trafficking breaking God's heart?
What about the little children who have watched their parents crucified or their heads chopped off by the ISIS terrorist group in Iraq and Syria? Is it breaking God's heart?
Are our hearts breaking over the millions of Christians being tortured and imprisoned for their faith in over 60 countries of the world?
What about the millions of souls that are yet unreached for Christ? I know it is breaking God's heart as He waits with patience for He is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).
Will we let God break our hearts with what breaks His heart? Will we become a praying family who cries out to Him for the great needs in the world? Are we ordering our day as a family to make sure we make time to pray for what is on God's heart?
