Tonight was a teary night. I heard a precious story as yellow car boy and I traveled to his endocrinologist. As I listened to a very short version, I cried. I wondered why I was being so emotional. I managed to pull myself together though. Today, I was able to share a small part of the story, and I found myself emotional again. Tonight, I saw the story as I scrolled through my Facebook feed. I watched a 22 minute video, and I cried the whole way through, like lots of tissue was needed to clean up the mess I had made of myself. It is an incredible story of hope and God's sovereignty. It's just incredible. Again, I wondered why I was being this emotional. I actually sat there for a moment, and I thought I don't even know these people.
Then God hammered down the brakes. He reminded me of His compassion on me. Before I was His child, He cared for me. There were countless times, I have no doubt, He sat with me, me being unaware, and dried merited and unmerited tears. My mind then went to lost souls. I remembered hearing a tugging sermon about being a witness and the heart break of losing a loved one, especially if we didn't know if they were saved. The pastor ended the sermon with a charge to witness to our loved ones. He then charged us to have that same hurt for people we didn't even know. Why? Because God cares for them, and so should we. As I was wondering why this story pricked my heart so hard, all I could think about was the importance of compassion. I then went onto think about how God can use compassion to fuel us to be His hands and feet. I'm so, so thankful for all of the innumerous amount of people who have been the hands of feet of Jesus to me. Even more so, I'm thankful for God's mercy on my lost soul because I sure was and am undeserving. Today, when I shared that story, I came to a painful realization. I am so terribly bad about worrying. In the midst of my worrying I forget to thank God for how He worked things out up unto that moment of worry, how He works it out afterwards, and then loves me through it. God is so, so good. He is an amazing father, caregiver, provider, and comforter. How wonderful to be a child of such a God! Below is the link of an incredibly inspirational story. I'm so excited to see how God uses these precious souls. http://themorningcruise.com/hope-heals-the-story-of-jay-katherine-wolf/
