22 - confession on haiti.
im so frustrated that my soul is not stirred with affection and pain like i think it should. why is my heart so cold? i feel like haiti should SHAKE ME to the core of my being, yet...even as i look at pictures of dead babies and read of the suffering and heartache that is going on there - my heart feels so content, so safe in my home.
i am frustrated that my little problems make my heart far more wearier than the pain that is going on in haiti. and im not saying that we all need to weep and always show physical signs of pain over haiti or for any other disasters going on in the world..
but you know what...a part of me says we all should.
but why cant i?
Lord, give me a heart of compassion. just as you weep over the loss and despair of the haitian people, and the injustice in the rest of the world, may i receive but a bit of that same heart that will shake my inner being.
