I’m really starting to listen to God. I know this is a weird way of seeing it but it’s the truth. There have been points in my life where I feel like the Lord isn’t speaking to me. I feel so distant from him and don’t understand where he is. The truth is I’m NOT listening.
The Lord has been telling me that I have to gift of mercy. Before I came on the World Race and every day since I have prayed for the Lord to break my heart for what breaks his. Can you imagine? To really have a heart for his people. To look into their eyes and see them the way the Lord see’s them. Last night when I prayed this prayed the Lord said to me, “I have broken your heart for my people. You need to be BOLD and speak it out”.
I’m learning to walk that out. When the Lord puts something on my heart or I’m hurting for his people I need to BOLDLY proclaim it. I need to have that boldness because if it’s from the Lord and it needs to be said. There is no turning back, there is only looking forward.
Things that have broken heart…..

If it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing
mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Romans 12:7-9
