Does your heart ever hurt for someone you've never met? I do not mean that classic Romance film kind of aching. I mean you know there is someone out there that needs you deeply, needs you to guide them to the Father, and they seem so close, yet still out of touch.
My heart aches. I have one in particular. But they are all over the place. There are so many in need.
I've often thought...what if we just took one person, just one, to fully invest in. For myself, my "uncle" (not biological, but practically) is the one. He has stretched me and shown me things I never thought I could be, and things I never thought I could do. Through Christ, he has taught me so many things. Has seen potential in me I would have laughed at a few years ago.
And I have one to invest into as well. Someone so close, but out of touch. I am realizing this. He has taught me so much, as have I to him. I can only hope I have done my designated job, and have/will guide him to Christ. And it is a burden, with someone who is in such despair. But I love him a lot. And with faith my only guide, I know he will leave this world with hope.
But what about the rest of them? That is only one in a billion. Who will reach out to the rest? To the homeless man on the side of the street, to the rich man in the business suit down the road. Are we not all equally lost? Are we as Christians not all equally called to GO therefore, and make disciples?
My heart aches. aches. for the people. The incredibly important people.
