Tonight in the quietness of my home and the stillness in my heart, I ask myself the same question I have asked no less than a thousand times lately....
Is it really possible, as a believer in Jesus Christ, to be too passionate about orphan care, foster care, and the Great Commission? Is it? Is that truly possible for someone who professes to follow Christ to ever feel that way?
NO. The answer, whispered from the Holy Spirit again in my heart is a resounding, "No, because I am passionate about those things."
Press on, He says. Do not give up. Plead the case for the fatherless, defend the widow, visit the sick, share the Gospel, feed the hungry, give to the poor....and when you do these things you are obeying My commands. What the world counts as foolishness, it is the power unto salvation for those who truly believe.
May we seriously examine our hearts if we ever claim those false beliefs and look deep within to see if our salvation is sure....and if our hearts are not right, may we fall on our faces before the Lord God Almighty, for we will ALL give an account one day.
I will never, never, never, ever, not ever apologize for seeking to carry out James 1:27, Isaiah 1:17, Psalm 82:3-4, Matthew 28:19-20, and Acts 1:8. Will you stand with me to proclaim the truth about the Truth found in His Word? My heart continues to ache and break about the things that have pierced and wounded it so deeply. However, I think I am finally beginning to embrace this suffering as a gift about teaching us holiness in the midst of pain.
