Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:23-24)
Have you ever been praying or really had someone on your mind (heart) and just don't see your prayers coming to pass? I have, and one thing that I've come to learn is before I start asking God to change this person and change that person I need to ask, "Why am I asking God to change that person?" Compassion is something that is lost within the church today. We have a level of compassion for the hurting and the lost but we also need to have and show compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all still human and are not perfect. Before we ask God to change someone or something why not ask him, "Lord change me, and let me see this person through your eyes." Let's take the focus off everyone else's faults for a minute and take a long hard look inward because we too have not yet arrived and still need to be molded into the image of Christ.
God Bless,
