Compassion, for God is everywhere!

When I listened to Hillsong’s song called Hossana, one word that came upon my mind, it is Compassion!

O Lord, break my heart for what breaks Yours. It brought me to a total surrender. Crying out to Him, I ask Him to renew my heart. Break it too, Lord! So I know how it feels to see the lost seeking for the true God. I earnestly pray for more compassion for people’s salvation, for an unsaved nation, for the place I would be for the next 6 months.

The Gospel must first be preached to all nations – Mark 12:10

Gospel will be preached to all nations. God never works on a marketing area called target market when it comes to salvation.The target is not only to some known countries, not only to a specific human race, nor to those who still haven’t adhered to any religion. God never works that way. For Jesus His target is all nations.

I simply believe wherever God calls you to be, there is a calling in that place. It includes the place where I am residing now =)

Frankly, there is an unconscious assumption in my church society that you could grow spiritually at some given conditions. At first I was swayed by this unconscious point of view. But that’s not true. In every season you have an option whether you want to grow spiritually or not.

I really like this quote: God is everywhere. We just need to make Him visible! (Philip Yancey-Finding God in unexpected places). It doesn’t matter where you are. God is there. Even in the most unholy places! Because in those places, people are looking for love, searching for an acceptance and in a desperate need of hope. And there is a calling in that situation. Because the sad fact is that people don’t realize that love, hope and acceptance can simply be found in Jesus.

In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus illustrates how happy the Shepherd was when He found the one lost sheep. In the same way, there will be rejoicing in heaven to see one soul saved! God is too happy over one sinner who repents.

When I’m reminded of this truth, I gain a deeper understanding on a God’s calling and I simply long to make Him happy.
