A broken heart is a compassionate heart. It reminds me of many a mother who have sown their tears before the throne of the Father. Pleading with God to save her children. To protect them whilst they wander into the emenies terrority. It is a broken heart that drives one to prayer. It is the compassionate heart that sows the seed of truth. Mathew 20:14 "Jesus" He saw the people as sheep having no shepherd and "had compassion on them".
The consequences of sin is devastation. We just need to look around in society to see the vast amount of damage it is causing. Men and Women lost, without a shepherd to lead them. Jesus says I am the way the truth and the life. He wants man to have life and life abundently. The choice remains man's.
They crowned Him with thorns
He was beaten with stripes:
He was smitten and nailed to the tree
But the pain in His heart was the hardest to bear,
The heart that was broken for me
J W Van De Venter
Paul wept over sinners Acts 20:31 "Remeber, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears"
If you don't have the compassion of Christ then you need to see the lost sheep through the eyes of the cross. The Shepherd came to lost but they did not want Him. Let's weep before His throne for those who are suffering the devastation due to sin.
Please Father give us your heart for the loss. Make the loss see that they need YOU.
