What do people see when they look at us?

HAHAHA I really like that one. But it makes a serious point all the same
Quote:

" The gospel of a broken heart demands the ministry of bleeding hearts.... We can never heal the needs we do not feel. Tearless hearts can never be hearlds of the passion. We must pity if we would redeem. We must bleed if we would be ministers of the saving blood."

J.H. Jowett

So true, though we have to be careful that our sympathy and empathy are not merely soulish. As a woman, that has probably tripped me up quite a lot, "needing to be needed", and the instinct to nurture and protect can get in the way of what the Lord is doing sometimes.
