What do we know about the heart of God?

God cares about the suffering.

Bob Pierce, the founder of Samaritan’s Purse, knelt in the dirt in Korea embracing a street child and said, “Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God!”

God cares about the suffering! He cares about the poor and the hungry. They are around the world and outside our doors. He cares about the sick. He cares about the wounded and brokenhearted. He cares about the persecuted.

Do we?

God cares about the lost.

It is estimated that 80,000 people die every day without Christ. That’s 55 people every 60 seconds!

How much time to we invest in non-eternal things while so many in the world still do not know about Christ’s saving love?

Do you pray for them? Jesus does! Do we seek them? Jesus does!

God cares about His great Name!

We sing about it. We call on His name in times of trouble. But do we love His name enough to revere, honor and proclaim it? The answer to that question is not in our words; It is in our behavior!

What distracts most from the glory of His name? Our disobedience, calloused hearts, and self-absorbed focus while we lift our hands in worship and say that we honor Him.

“Who can free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord!”  (Romans 7:24-25, NLT)
