"Lord, crush my heart."

Some, if not many of you, have sang the following song before. But often we don't think about the message...and even more so, don't embrace it in our lives. I know that's sadly how it has been for me many times.

Today, I'm not sharing one of my favorite hymns, "Let Your Heart Be Broken",  just to share it because I love it. No. I pray and hope that you will not only read it, but that you will ask our  Father to make it real to you in your life each day.

Let your heart be broken

For a world in need:

Feed the mouths that hunger,

Soothe the wounds that bleed, 

Give the cup of water

And the loaf of bread--

Be the hands of Jesus, 

Serving in His stead.

Here on earth applying

Principles of love,

Visible expression--

God still rules above--

Living  illustration 

Of the living Word

To the minds of all who've

Never seen or heard.

Blessed to be a blessing,

Privileged to care, 

Challenged by the need--

Apparent everywhere.

Where mankind is wanting, 

Fill the vacant place.

Be the means through which the

Lord reveals His grace.

Add to your believing 

Deeds that prove it true, 

Knowing Christ as Savior,

Make Him Master, too.

Follow in His foot-steps, 

Go where He has trod;

In the world's greatest trouble

Risk yourself for God.

Let your heart be tender

And your vision clear; 

See man-kind as God sees, 

Serve Him far and near. 

Let your heart be broken

By a brother's pain; 

Share your rich resources,

Give and give again.

Father, please don't just break my heart, rather, crush it.

My brother and sister, He longs to break your heart, too. Will you let Him?
