Hungry For The Lost

For the past years the Lord has been doing a lot of things in me, but I felt I should just share with you one of them.

The Lord has been putting in my heart such a growing desire to see the little children coming to the saving knowledge of God. God has filled me with such a passion for those who do not yet know him.

Every day during my quiet quality time with him I find myself praying for children all over the world and people who do not yet accept Jesus, with tears because I just want to see them saved and give their all to Jesus. I have kept on praying for little ones and praying- "break my heart for what breaks yours." Because I really want my heart to break for the lost people.

I just want to see whatever Jesus see's. I want to be His hands, feet and just to show the poor, weak and the children that Jesus is there and cares for them.

God has also made me realize that if I want to succeed in the mission field then I need to desperately cry out to Jesus to give his heart for the unsaved. I have also realized to see children from Jesus' perspective, not mine.

Most of the children I minister to in our community are the most illiterate, poor and vulnerable children, but Jesus is calling me to love and see them through His eyes. He is also making me understand that they are people just like me.

My heart has disappointed me so many times, because it can not love his children enough. I need Jesus' heart for the children and poor people! As Jesus saw many people, He had loving compassion on them. They were troubled and were walking around everywhere. They were like sheep without a shepherd. ( Matthew 9:36) When Jesus saw people something happened way down deep inside His soul. He saw sheep without a Shepherd. Wandering with no direction and hope. Futilely doomed to starve, to fall over the edge.

To have a Jesus- heart is having the compassion of Jesus. I am still daring to ask him to break my heart for the poor children and dying people around me. I want Jesus to plant His love for those He died for in my heart. I want Him to plant in me His passion for not wanting anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9). I am still asking God for a heart that will continue to see the desperation and dying state of people around me.

It it my prayer that God will continue to give you and me a heart for the orphans and vulnerable children around us as we join his rescue mission!

Remember Jesus said that what ever you do to these little ones you did it unto me.
