Love for the Lost

My heart is heavy tonight for the lost people of this world. Rachel, Tori, and I have just been chilling in my room not doing anything special (as usual)...just being with each other! :) We got to talking about our country and terrorism and stuff and Rach showed us this video of a terrorist on youtube. We talked about it for a little bit and maybe this is weird but the first emotion that I felt was not fear of what could happen to our country if we were to be attacked again like 9/11, but rather sorrow and a longing for the lost to know and believe the Way, the Truth, and the Life and the saving grace from God that I know and believe. It absolutely tears my heart apart to think that if we were to be attacked not only would physical lives be lost but many would be lost eternally.......we're talking FOREVER here people!!!! That's a long time. Longer than we can even comprehend. It's an overwhelming thought and at first my mind started running a million miles an hour..."There are so many lost people. I have to reach them. Where are they all?! Where do I begin? How to I tell them? I can't tell them all. Who else is going to tell them? Where are those people who are burdened in the same way I am?" So many thoughts...and then I realized....those people are right here!!! I am SURROUNDED my lost people!! Classmates, friends, professors, family members, strangers--I am presented with opportunities on a daily basis to share the love of Jesus with people and I pass right by those open doors! If I really want to make a difference what better time than now to do it? So anyway, that's where my heart is right now, burdened but motivated!
