It’s tough when people you care about are closed off to the idea of the existence of God. I just want them to know the freedom and love that only comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Even though I enjoy talking to them about these things, I can’t help but feel discouraged at how far they have to go. I know I can’t say anything to convince them and that I need to trust that God is turning their hearts to him, but it’s hard. I’ll never stop praying and hoping for them.

Asking for God’s heart, asking that he’ll break my heart for what breaks his, is not happy. I can tell that he is changing me because I am caring more and more about other people. Before, I used to be fine with people believing in whatever they wanted to, because I honestly loved very, very few people. Now, I’m beginning to understand how heartbroken God must feel.
