"My heart was breaking. I knew I had to do something to help meet the needs of the desperate world that Jesus came to save.
This is the call of every Christian. If we dare to get close enough to the harvest, we will begin to feel God's burden for the lost and dying. God will ruin us. We will not be able to live "normal" lives again. We will feel compelled to speak on behalf of the downtrodden. This burden is not just reserved for full-time missionaries. Every Christian has a place in the fields of the Lord. We are each called to love the unloved, feed the hungry, protect the vulnerable, heal the abused and cry out for justice for the oppressed."
-J. Lee Grady from The Holy Spirit Is Not For Sale
*Another book that was convicting, affirming, and instructive when compared and sifted by the Word of God. I recommend it. More on this later.
