Break Our Heart for what Breaks Yours
I was in the car the other day, listening to the song Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns, and it really made me stop and think. Some of the lyrics say 'break our hearts for what breaks Yours.' Being a super caring person, seeing people hurting, turning their backs on God and sinning deliberately, really hurts my heart. And I don't like pain. The sudden thought of having my heart broken for what breaks God's heart, scared me. I've always been super determined not to get into a relationship that might be the wrong one, because I'm afraid of having my heartbroken. And now this new thought comes along, and it scares me even more. I wish I didn't have to say it, but I'm almost afraid to put myself out there for God's work, because if I see the world through His eyes, my heart will break. But... maybe it needs to be broken... maybe it needs to broken so that my outsides will be pushed away, and His insides can come forward and be used...
