Where's a heart to go, living in a yo-yo world? The picture above is of the Bleeding Heart plant that usually comes out in spring. It's so beautiful to see this shape in nature! (Along with some types of Morning Glory that have heart shaped leaves.)
Does your heart bleed? Does it ache over your own sin? Over the sins of this world? If it does, than you are alive! Take those tears and prayers and lay them before the throne. Revelation 8!!
Compassion is hard to come by in this world and what the world needs now is more hearts full of the true love of Jesus Christ!
But sometimes, when we tell the truth, it hurts. It hurts our heart. Because the truth slices away at our beliefs or traditions or doctrines. Most of all the truth slices at our flesh. But Jesus said, 'You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
You are free to accept The Truth or not.
You are free to love The Truth or not.
You are free to choose to have a relationship with the world or with Jesus.
You are free to sew into a relationship with Jesus or not.
What you sew, you will reap.

As each day passes by, I feel my love run dryI get so weary, worn and tossed 'round in the stormWell I'm blind to all His needs and I'm tired of planting seedsI seem to have a wealth of so many thoughts about myself
I want to, I need to, be more like JesusI want to, I need to, be more like Him
Our Father's will was done by giving us His SonWho paid the highest cost, to point us to the crossAnd when I think of Him taking on the whole world's sinI take one look at me compared to what I'm called to be
I want to, I need to, be more like JesusI want to, I need to, be more like HimRemember, there's no greater loveThan to lay down your life for a friend
The end of all my prayers is to care like my Lord caresMy one and only goal, His image in my soulYes, my weakness is revealed when by His stripes I'm healedHe's faithful and He's true to complete the work He begins in you
I want to, I need to, be more like JesusI want to, I need to, be more like HimRemember, there's no greater loveThan to lay down your life, noThere's no greater love than to lay down your lifeFor a friend, for a friend
I want to, I need to, be more like JesusI want to, I need to, be more like Him
Our Father's will was done by giving us His SonWho paid the highest cost, to point us to the crossAnd when I think of Him taking on the whole world's sinI take one look at me compared to what I'm called to be
I want to, I need to, be more like JesusI want to, I need to, be more like HimRemember, there's no greater loveThan to lay down your life for a friend

How can the Church be more like Jesus today? What can we do for our Master and Savior? Will we ask?

Amen! Yes, my heart is very weary and sorrowful. I feel the pain of others to the point I do think my heart is bleeding. I cry for my children, my loved ones my brothers and sisters who are backslidden, the leaders of the world, the lost of the world. My heart is breaking in two. I can't imagine how my Father feels. I can only tell HIM I love HIM and I am sorry.
