God has been breaking my heart for so many different things and at weird times. In the morning when I see my scar on my hip I think about the so called Ugly Women of Thailand, I am packing boxes in the living room and I grapple with the thoughts of children who have been trafficked and can never go home anymore because they don’t know where it is nor would they be welcomed.
My heart is also being broken for the choices people make. For all of my life I have heard people talk and I listen but never have I thought of people as being a sum of their choices. Everywhere I go God is showing me people by the choices they have made. I hear their choices and the choices others have made that impact them.
There is a story here in the DMV office about a beautiful young girl who nearly lost her life due to a teenager who decided to drink a drive. The girl is covered head to toe with 3rd and 4th degree burns. Can you imagine that both teenagers probably live with this choice everyday ?
I am glad God is showing me people by their choices and the choices that others have made that impact them. Choices are what keep them up nights, what breaks their hearts, what has someone hate you because when they don’t know you because you remind them of a choice.
When people ask me how am I going to deal with the offenders that act against women and children I simply say I will minister to the choices, Christ dies for the choices they make and Christ died for the choices you make.
In everything you do be sensitive to the choices the compassion God pours in will rock your world.
