Softening Heart

As I was sitting behind the desk late at night, bored, I asked myself the question…are we interested in reaching the people not only sitting out there in the villages of Freetown? What will we do for those back home? When those here receive that “golden ticket” that says we can do surgery on their bow leg, cleft lip, goiter we share the love of Christ with them. What about those in the city of Charlotte? We need to be aware of those out there in our own backyard searching for their “golden ticket” and desperate to receive hope and healing. One of the things I’ve already learned and been encouraged with when I come home in July is to share the love of Christ. I feel as if before my experience here, in my mind, I wanted to help those in need but my heart was not there. My heart has deepened for those who are desperate to be loved.
