I just want to give more and do more! he challenges Christians in the area of love and compassion. He basically says that our hearts must break for the hurting, the broken because God's heart breaks for them. When we are saved we are given a new heart of flesh (Ezekiel) and our new heart should have the heartbeat of Christ. I'm doing a study of this topic at my awake journey and I can't wait to start it. I did the review for the book but I just feel like this topic needs more attention, especially in my own heart! thanks for posting this.Jenileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904251437303606870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-58355157862026045692009-12-16T14:47:30.305-06:002009-12-16T14:47:30.305-06:00Joye, beautifully put!

I don't know what to do. It frustrates me so much, because I think about it all the time, but I don't feel like I'm doing anything. I will look forward to your guests and what they have to say too.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369117008622884945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-48841636094923365892009-12-16T14:35:42.169-06:002009-12-16T14:35:42.169-06:00Joye, That was so wonderful...and I know that it ...Joye, That was so wonderful...and I know that it was the Spirit of God in you that compelled you to feel this way.

The more that we are worrying about not having a job,paying bills, so many things....the more I am worrying about the homeless, those without food.<br /><br />We can take so much for granted, until it's taken away.....and then realize that so many were without the whole time.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. ...Hi Joye, <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Wow, your post was very touching. I am with ya with the compassion. Often times, I think about what I can do for the Kingdom of God. I feel so drawn to touch lives that have not been touched with the Love of Christ. As I sit in my home and cry out to the Lord, He shows me how lots of "things" we might treasure in this world are nothing when you encounter the true love of Christ. <br /><br />It isn't about going about our regular routines and such (not saying it is a waste of time--I have eight kids to teach and tend to) but living the "american dream" is not all that. Especially when you encounter the love of Christ. Nothing is more gratifying than seeing someone open up and share their hurts and pains and then receive the Love Christ is giving for themselves. Truly a wonderful feeling in my heart. <br /><br />Nice to meet you too and definitely will visit again. <br /><br />ChrisChris@Joyful Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721525071153767987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-53191083138774827722009-12-16T13:46:13.060-06:002009-12-16T13:46:13.060-06:00Joye....this was beautiful!

It's so hard to even imagine sometimes how much I take for granted...I just have to open my hands and say "Lord, take my life and everything I have, and USE it for YOUR GLORY and purpose....and give me the strength, humility, courage, patience, and faith to accept your perfect will."<br /><br />You are such a sweet woman Joye, and you have truly been an encouragement to me. I am so very thankful for you and for the wonderful compassionate heart that God has given you, a heart that keeps on learning and growing in Him. I'm praying with you, asking God to break my heart also and to allow me to see the world through His eyes...and to not just let it break my heart and leave me wallowing in a pit of despair, but for it to utterly break my heart and to be able to know that God's love can still heal this! To Him be all the glory and praise, forever(:<br /><br />Love you so much dear Joye!<br /><br />In Him,<br />MarijahMarijahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996800382547171319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-86921780566048811032009-12-16T13:19:59.366-06:002009-12-16T13:19:59.366-06:00Thank you for stopping by my place and leaving a n...Thank you for stopping by my place and leaving a note..."I was here"...<br />It was great to have you overthere and great to see what the Lord is doing in your life.Becky@ Daily On My Way To Heavenhttp://dailyonmywaytoheaven.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-9303285244079287112009-12-16T13:15:27.302-06:002009-12-16T13:15:27.302-06:00It is easy to whine about our own issues until we ...It is easy to whine about our own issues until we take our eyes off ourselves and look around.
