But as i was chatting with him, i found out that he's the only Christian in his family, and that he hasn't been attending chc due to wk. As i heard that, my heart aches. If a mere sinner like me aches, how much more so the heart of the greatest lover of all? How would Jesus feel? Wouldn't his heart ache more? That one of his child is far away from him?
Then i realised that God's heart aches for his children; those who have strayed, those who have yet to know him, but esp those who believes in Him and yet for some reason are lost in the world... unable or unwilling to find their way back to Him.
And as i thot of that, i thought about how God must have felt. and i think i felt it too.
Sometimes, when we feel so blessed worshipping in God's place, there are actually many others out there who are not so blessed. They may be working, busy, prohibited from going chc or have yet to know God. Our hearts should be praying for them. That one day, they too, will be able to taste the God we delight so much in. And know that God is good; all the time.
The next time you pray or worship God, spare a thought for these people out there. Have God's heart for them. Pray for them. I'm confident that God will bring his people back, meanwhile we should pray and help those who are lost to find their way back.
