amazing grace * how sweet the sound * that saved a wretch like ME * i once was lost * but now am found * was blind * but now i see
its a deep desire of my heart to come to the place where i am able to see jesus in the poor, needy, those with whom the world is vehement on overcoming... while my heart surges at the site of an abandoned little one - the presence of the alchaholic, of the one with whom perversity seems pour out of their pores - always causes me to cringe.
as i sat with them yesterday, listening to them talk the talk of their culture - the cringe began to replaced by...something ...compassion... it was almost like being able to see and hear past what our human eyes see and hear into what He sees when he looks at them - a gray, lifeless, battered soul... crying out for the Rain. just like what mine looked like before i knew Him.
my heart is learning heavens language. slow, oh so slow! small in its beginnings, but its learning.
yeah, His grace is amazing.
