i was going to do a survey post, but changed my mind.....
my heart is breaking. ...and it has nothing to do with me.
i thank God for the heart He has given me. One that feels the pain of others, that breaks as theirs does, that goes beyond empathy and compassion, to a sincere understanding. i know He's given me this for the life He has in store for me... for the ministry He's called me into. the ministry of love and healing. and knowing this, most of my life i never understood how. HOW would i know? HOW am i supposed to know how the broken feel, what the hurting endure, what the unloved experience? and here i sit, at 23, and i know how.
He's given me His heart.
"because You are my help, i sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me."
Psalm 63:7&8
